A giant panda cub born this year is testing its reach -- and its teeth -- at a breeding center in southwest China's Sichuan Province.
Footage filmed on Aug 13 and Aug 18 at the Sunshine Delivery House for Giant Pandas at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding shows the cub rising on its hind legs. It props its chin on a window ledge before reaching for and gnawing at a short strip of wood on the slatted wall.
In another sequence, the cub rolls upright, curls into a ball, and then stretches out again on the floor.
The Chengdu base is a world-renowned facility for ex-situ conservation, research, and breeding of giant pandas, red pandas and other endangered wildlife native to China. It also runs public education and eco-tourism programs.
