A lighthearted scene of two giant panda cubs playfully wrestling with each other has been captured on camera at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in southwest China's Sichuan Province.
In the footage recorded at the Star Giant Panda Nursery House, a keeper tried to separate two fluffy baby panda cubs as they playfully wrestled with each other out of concern of their safety.
In another scene, the keeper held two cubs in her arms and then put them on the wooden platform where they can bask in sunshine and enjoy fresh air.
The base witnessed a "panda baby boom" between July and September this year, so most of this year's newborn cubs are only a few months old.
The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is a world-renowned institution for the conservation of giant pandas. The base is famous for its work in protecting and breeding giant pandas, red pandas and other endangered wild animals exclusive to China as well as its educational outreach programs. It is now a major tourist attraction.
