Archeologists unearthed the fossils of giant pandas, apes, rhinoceros, elephants and other large mammals, which are estimated to have lived 400,000 years ago, from a stone quarry on Hainan Island. The discovery of the land-based animals proves Hainan Island was once connected with the Chinese mainland. [Xinhua]
