Wild giant pandas spotted in Qinghai? Experts: Impossible

Science Fiction Network, April 4 (by Wang Huilan): Recently, a video of "Wild pandas found in Qinghai" has attracted widespread attention and discussion on social platforms. In the video, a wild panda turns around and flees quickly after discovering humans. However, relevant staff of the Qinghai Provincial Forestry and Grassland Bureau said that there are no records of wild pandas in Qinghai, and the geographical location in the video is not in Qinghai. Subsequently, animal protection experts in related fields also questioned the authenticity of the content of the video. They suspected that it was a synthetic fake video, or that it was misidentified from other regions.

Well-known science blogger "Yuan Zhang" said on Weibo: "There is 100% no chance that there will be giant pandas in the habitat shown in the video. Either the video is fake or the location is fake, in short it is fake news, no surprises. There are only Tibetan brown bears in Qinghai, no wild giant pandas, absolutely!" He also pointed out that there are only four giant pandas in Qinghai, all in Xining, so it is impossible for them to have escaped from the zoo.

Experts speculate that it may be in the Baishuijiang or Diebu area of ​​Gansu. This area is one of the original distribution areas of giant pandas and one of the main habitats of giant pandas. The forest coverage rate here is high, the climate is suitable, and the ecological environment is beautiful, which is very suitable for the survival of giant pandas.

Giant pandas are protected animals of national treasure level in my country, and their numbers are extremely rare. Protecting giant pandas is not only about protecting an animal, but also an important part of protecting the entire ecosystem. Data shows that giant pandas live in dense bamboo forests at an altitude of 2,600-3,500 meters, where the air is thin and misty all year round, the temperature is below 20℃, there are plenty of bamboos, and the terrain and water sources are conducive to the species building nests and feeding their cubs.
