Brown giant panda becomes superstar in China
A seven-year-old giant panda living at a research base in Foping County, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, has grown increasingly popular among visitors thanks to its rare white and brown coat.
The panda, named Qi Zai, is the world's only completely brown panda, and was found among a group of pandas with tints of brown in their coats in 2009. The world's first brown panda was discovered in 1985 in the Qinling Mountains in northwest China. Since then, there have been eight confirmed brown panda sightings, but Qi Zai is the the last remaining individual known to humans. He has lived at the Wild Panda Training Base in Shaanxi Province's Foping Nature Reserve for nearly three years.

Wild Giant Panda Spotted Drinking Water in Northwest China
A wild giant panda was spotted drinking water from a river Wednesday afternoon in Daguping Village, Foping County of northwest China's Shaanxi Province.
The giant panda was spotted by a villager named He Yijun. He said that the wild panda got up and walked towards the bamboo forest after it saw He using a mobile phone camera. The wild panda encountered He again after climbing up the hill. The closest distance between He and the wild panda was less than three meters. It was the first time for the region to see a wild giant panda in such a close quarter.
The mobile video taken by He shows that the wild panda's is about one meter in body length.
Daguping village is near the Foping National Nature Reserve, a nature reserve situated in the middle part of the Qinling Mountains. This nature reserve is home to wild giant panda and other wildlife species. 1,580 species of higher plants and 265 species of wild animals are living here.
Giant pandas are one of the world's most endangered species. Fewer than 2,000 pandas live in the wild, mostly in China's Shaanxi and Sichuan provinces.

Tourists Encounter Wild Giant Panda in Northwest China
It is not every day when someone can see a wild giant panda, but a group of tourist came across one to their delight last Saturday while they were at a nature reserve in Foping County of northwest China's Shaanxi Province.
The video footage taken by one of the visitors shows the panda taking a leisurely stroll down a hill as it searched for food.
The man who shot the video, Zhou Shijun, said the group was rolling a snow ball on the road when they suddenly spotted the giant panda about 20 meters away and it seemed not afraid of the human visitors.
It was our first time to see a panda in the wild in such close quarters. We were very happy and excited, said Zhou.
The giant panda was later spotted again at a place 500 meters from the entrance of a protection station sitting in the snow by a stone on the slope and eating bamboo.
I think it was the cold weather that drove the giant panda downhill. Recently, it has been snowing in the high altitude area and it is very thick. That affected the activities and forage of the giant panda. So it came downhill to the riverside, where the snow is thinner and it is easy for the giant panda to find food, said Liang Qihui, senior engineer of the management bureau at the Foping Nature Reserve.

Wild panda spotted in SW China forest
A wild giant panda was spotted in a forest in Baoxing county, southwest China's Sichuan Province last weekend.
It's the fourth time that giant pandas have been spotted in the region within a year.
Giant pandas are one of the world's most endangered species. About 1,600 live in the wild, mostly in the mountains of Sichuan, while more than 300 live in captivity.
Sichuan is home to around 74 percent of wild giant pandas in China.
Wild panda spotted in northwest China nature reserve
A wild giant panda was recently spotted in a nature reserve in northwest China's Shaanxi Province, local authorities said Tuesday.
From tapes obtained last Friday from 30 infrared cameras installed in the Huangguanshan Nature Reserve, staff found a panda searching for food. Experts concluded from the pictures that the panda is a sub-adult in good physical condition, weighing about 60 kilograms.
Several traces of panda activity was also found at the reserve and will help better protect the animal species in the area.
Last year, reserve staff discovered a wild panda in the area for the first time.
Giant pandas are one of the world's most endangered species. Fewer than 2,000 pandas live in the wild, mostly in Shaanxi and Sichuan provinces.

First Ever Footage Of Wild Panda Breastfeeding Cub
Journalist: Gabriel Zamfir
Astonishing never-before-seen footage of a mother panda breastfeeding her cub in the wild have been captured in China.
The reclusive, almost painfully shy bears, were seen in the branches of a huge fir tree by a documentary team in Foping county in Shaanxi province.
At first the duo appear to be simply resting and enjoying themselves in their peaceful surrounding. But then the cub intimated that it was hungry.
That meant the mother had to lumber down the tree with the cub so it could suckle her while lying on a slope. According to Chinese state television, this is the first time such footage has been captured.
The amazing footage has spellbound both naturalists and the public. It was shot in the wilds of the Qinling mountains where a large group of giant pandas still roam without fear of man destroying their habitat.
A survey conducted two years ago estimated that there are close to 350 of them in the reserve.
Last week farmers near the spot where the mothering session occurred spotted a wild giant panda near a river looking to slake its thirst. They managed to capture it on smartphones.
Wild giant panda numbers are continuing to rise. A survey in 2014 found a total of 1,864 of them.
While still very low, this represents a real success story, with numbers increasing from around 1,000 in the late 1970s. In the past decade, giant panda numbers have risen by 17 percent.
Adult pandas can consume up to 85lbs of bamboo a day and can weigh up to 150 kilogrammes (330 lbs). Habitat loss and fragmentation of their communities are the major threats to them, but China is vigorous in its protection programmes.
