It was the first time a wild panda has been captured by camera in the nature reserve since 2012.

The video shot on Feb. 16 showed a giant panda walking slowly towards the camera and started to chew it out of curiosity. Staff at the reserve found the video and pictures on May 14 during a routine collection of infrared cameras in the reserve.
