Forestry teams search for wild pandas after shooting

Eight teams of searchers are scouring nearly 40,000 hectares of forest for wild pandas in Southwest China's Yunnan province.

The search was prompted by the discovery of the first wild panda in Yunnan in modern times. The panda was killed by two farmers in Longtai village in December.

On Dec 3, a sheep was killed by an unknown animal. The next day, a farmer and his brother searched for the animal in the mountains. When the brother saw an animal in a tree, he fired one shot.
