An adorable giant panda was recently filmed showing off its top-notch flexibility at a breeding base in southwest China's Sichuan Province.
The footage posted on the iPanda multimedia platform captured the female giant panda "Chunyu" was siting on a wooden frame and unexpectedly stretched its back, while munching on bamboo.
Born in August 2022, the panda lives at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP) base in southwest China's Sichuan Province, where the video footage was captured. Her mother is "Qiaoqiao," a giant panda rescued from Mount Siguniang.

The center has also established a global platform for promoting international cooperation and exchanges involving 18 zoos from 16 countries and regions, 39 domestic animal breeding institutions, and over 10 scientific research institutes.
