Wild giant pandas spotted

Wild giant pandas have been spotted in a nature reserve in Sichuan province, reserve authorities said on Thursday. Since December, staff of the Longxi-Hongkou National Nature Reserve have collected more than 150 photos and some video footage recording wild pandas eating, drinking and roaming. The staff also collected over 100 photos as well as video footage of other rare animals under the country's top protection, such as golden monkeys and takin, from infrared cameras.
