On March 2, reporters learned from the Mianyang Management Branch of the Giant Panda National Park that infrared cameras in the Pingwu section recently captured multiple valuable video clips of wild giant pandas active in their natural habitats, including hillsides and bamboo forests. In the footage, the giant pandas are seen either strolling leisurely and sniffing their surroundings or performing handstands to mark scent.
Handstand marking is a crucial social and territorial behavior among wild giant pandas. By urinating while inverted and smearing secretions from their anal glands onto tree trunks, they convey information and delineate territories—a key method of communication within the population. The clear documentation of this behavior indicates that the giant pandas in the area are in good health and reflects the ongoing improvement of the habitat ecology and the steadily increasing adaptability of the wild population in the Pingwu section.
In recent years, the Pingwu section has continuously strengthened field monitoring and ecological conservation efforts. Infrared cameras have repeatedly captured images of wild giant pandas and various other rare and endangered wildlife species, providing strong support for regional biodiversity conservation.
