      Giant panda captivates viewers by playing air guitar during grooming routine

      A giant panda's antics filmed at the Dujiangyan base of the China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Panda (CCRCGP) has captivated viewers, as mother Zhang Ka mimicked a "guitarist" while scratching herself during her grooming routine.

      The footage showed Zhang Ka kept scratching for a while, appearing to strum an invisible guitar. The scene was made even more special by the presence of her daughter, Zhong Zhong, who seemed to be an attentive audience member.

      Lying aside, Zhong Zhong listened intently to the "music" her mother was churning out, with the cub's gaze fixed on her mother, as if seated in the most exclusive area.

      Giant panda Zhang Ka stays in Mount Zhangga at the Fengtongzhai National Nature Reserve in southwest China's Sichuan Province. She is a legendary panda whose two captive-born cubs were successfully reintroduced into the wild.

      The panda gave births to twins An Bao, a male, and Zhong Zhong, a female, on August 15, 2022 at the CCRCGP Wolong Shenshuping Base.

      In another CCRCGP video footage, the special bond between Zhang Ka and Zhong Zhong demonstrated a familial connection.

      CCRCGP is a world leading institution for the breeding and conservation of one of China's national treasures. The center has also established a global platform for promoting international cooperation and exchanges involving 18 zoos from 16 countries and regions, as well as 39 domestic animal breeding institutions and more than 10 scientific research institutes.
