A video showing giant panda He Ye touching her lips, seemingly blowing a kiss as she reclines lazily on a wooden stand in her enclosure, has endeared viewers.
The smooch was caught on camera as the four-year-old bear was enjoying her leisure time in the No.6 Giant Panda Villa for Giant Pandas at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in southwest China's Sichuan.
He Ye was born on July 4, 2020 at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding.

The base is famous for its work in protecting and breeding giant pandas, red pandas and other endangered wild animal species exclusive to China as well as its educational outreach programs and its role as a major tourist attraction.

A giant panda cub was recently captured on film giving his keeper a high-five as thanks for a helping of healthy snacks at a breeding base in southwest China's Sichuan Province.
The footage shows the young panda in a blissful state of contentment as he lounges on the ground while being fed a variety of treats and engaging playfully with his dedicated caregiver.
The cub is one of a pair of twins born to a mother panda named Pan Wang through a wild breeding program. He now lives in the Shuangnan Park in the Dujiangyan base of the China Conservation and Research Center (CCRCGP) for the Giant Panda in Sichuan.
The 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.
