XI'AN, July 18 (Xinhua) — Staff at a national nature reserve in Zhouzhi County, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, recently discovered rare footage of a brown giant panda captured by an infrared camera in 2025.
The footage was taken at 6:15 p.m. on January 1 in Zhennangou, a district near the main ridge of the Qinling Mountains that falls under the jurisdiction of the Laoxiancheng Nature Reserve. In the video, the brown giant panda appears strong and healthy as it walks calmly in the snow.
Zhouzhi Nature Reserve is located on the northern slope of the Qinling Mountains. This is the second time the reserve has independently recorded a brown giant panda in the wild, after April 16, 2021. This is the 12th time an individual of this subspecies of giant panda has been spotted in Shaanxi Province.
Brown giant pandas are extremely rare. So far, scientifically documented sightings of brown giant pandas, including this one, have only been recorded in four counties in Shaanxi Province – Foping, Yangxian, Taibai and Zhouzhi. All are located in the Qinling Mountains region. -0-
