Chengdu, October 19 (Huang Mingsho) The Dujiangyan Pipe and Conservation Station of the Giant Panda National Park announced on the 19th that the station's infrared cameras captured images of wild giant pandas.

According to reports, the staff of the Dujiangyan Pipe and Conservation Station of the Giant Panda National Park found a wild giant panda looking for territory alone when sorting out the infrared camera monitoring photos in the wild. It is understood that this giant panda was filmed by an infrared monitoring camera placed at an altitude of about 2,000 meters in the Longchi area. Initially, the staff thought that the giant panda was the giant panda "Qinxin" or the giant panda "Little Walnut" that had been released before, and then through the high comparison with the surrounding herbs, it was finally speculated that the giant panda was sub-adult, not the giant panda "Qinxin" or the giant panda "Little Walnut" that had been released before.

According to Zhu Dahai, the director of the Longchi Pipe and Protection Station, the specific age of the giant panda is between two and three years old, and may have just come out of its mother's territory to find a new territory, and was accidentally discovered when passing by the infrared camera.
