Passionate pandas

A MOMENT of rare intimacy between wild giant pandas has been captured by an infrared camera in a nature reserve in northwest Gansu Province.

The video clip was recorded in April 2018 during the pandas鈥 mating season, but was only discovered by staff at the Baishuijiang National Nature Reserve when they were organizing the camera data from last year. It showed two pandas gazing into each other鈥檚 eyes and touching each other鈥檚 cheeks intimately. 鈥淧andas are known as 鈥榣one rangers鈥 in the forest. It鈥檚 hard to see two pandas together not fighting,鈥 said He Liwen, director of the giant panda management office under the reserve鈥檚 administration.
