In one video clip, the giant panda can be seen interacting with the camera, watching it with curiosity for a while before leaving. In another video clip, the same panda was captured leaving its scent by rubbing its buttocks against a tree, a behavior to mark its territory.

The area where the images were captured were at an elevation of 2,783 meters above the sea level. The nature reserve, with thriving plants, rich water resources and few human activities, provides a stable living environment for giant pandas and the companion animals. Other than monitoring wild animals using infrared cameras, the reserve is also cracking down on poaching and tree-cutting.
