First-Ever Recording Of Wild Giant Panda Twins

This rare footage shows two playful pandas frolicking in the woods and researchers says it is the first time a pair of twins have ever been recorded in the wild.

The otherwise solitary giant panda bears (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) were filmed by a camera trap inside the Wolong National Nature Reserve in China’s south-western province of Sichuan on 24th July this year.

The national park released the footage today (17th December), saying the recording from the bamboo forests of Niutou Mountain was the first time a pair of surviving twins had ever been seen on camera.
