00:00For decades I have been engaged in something
00:29paradoxical.
00:35I pour my heart into caring for them, only to face the parting in the end.
00:45We have spared no efforts to safeguard endangered
00:58pandas.
00:59But it remains to be seen whether they can regain their free and wild nature and return to habitats
01:08where their ancestors have thrived for over 8 million years.
01:15And withŃŠ° had the lovely Lariat Gƶring of those Mondains and put that into the realm,
01:23the largest people in the world when he can pause it.
01:28But why do we decide to allowatz mystery to establish the position to allow these adults
01:29that can't be.
01:30The peace and Fuel are daily relied on many proches served in arthroscop has been
01:34looking for a long way.
01:36To also let him decide what is
01:45very smoothly. Her mom gives birth for the first time, lacking experience.
02:04We hope she can deliver the cub on her own.
02:08As we do not help, the mother panda relies purely on her instincts.
02:27The tough delivery has taken over 10 hours.
02:33I get worried.
02:38Today marks another important occasion. Fong Fong, a 4-year-old male panda, will be reintroduced to the wild after rewilding training.
03:01Dear God, Dear God, thank you.
03:04Your king has worked for a long time and a long time.
03:08Thank you so much for asking.
03:12You, I am so sure about you.
03:15The ground and life?
03:17You are like you're like, oh, it's really good and I can't wait.
03:19I'm so sorry, dear.
03:21It's, I know, that's all very good.
03:27It's very good.
03:28Welcome to the brave new world, little ones.
03:58Welcome to the brave new world, little ones.
04:28Welcome to the brave new world, little ones.
04:58This is Fang Fang's first time in the truly wild mountains.
05:21The unfamiliar sense, rustling sounds, and novel creatures.
05:26It was all so overwhelming that he felt a little at a loss.
05:34Four-year-old Fang Fang, mature and robust, according to our lengthy observation, stands out as the best seed for reintroduction into the wild.
05:52We're sure the little guy will stand up to the challenges of nature.
06:01Ah,čéŖč°?
06:05Ah!
06:06Ah!
06:07Ah!
06:08Ah!
06:09Ah!

06:17Ah!
06:18Ah!
06:19Ah!
06:20Ah!
06:22Beneath its serenity of birdsong and blooms, nature holds ever-present peril.
06:37The paradise flycatcher couple are devotedly feeding their four chicks.
06:43Every ten minutes or so, the couple hunt for food.
07:14They perch on a branch near the nest to take a rest, unaware of a crisis looming.
07:22A king rat's name silently approaches the nest.
07:52The panic-stricken couple try to help, but it proves in vain.
08:02Survival in the forest is never an easy task.
08:32How is this?
08:39I don't like that guy.
08:44Adult pandas have almost no natural enemies in the wild.
08:49However, the first impression of the vast forest leaves Fang Fang a bit anxious.
08:56After all, he has just arrived in a brand new environment.
09:00Let's give him some more time.
09:05I just want to go home.
09:30This is where I work.
09:35Over 40 pandas live in different function areas.
09:41Cared for by full-time keepers around the clock.
09:45Treated like national treasures.
09:58It is.
10:01bei
10:15T.
10:23The newborn, Zha Zha, has contracted pneumonia.
10:38For panda cubs, pneumonia can be fatal.
10:49Zha Zha is lucky. We have administered medication and initiated 24-hour intensive care and monitoring.
11:15To simulate mom's hug, the keeper tucks her in and surrounds her with a U-shaped pillow.
11:26In a sense, all panda cubs are premature, with most of their organs not fully developed.
11:38A newborn weighs only about 100 grams, merely one one-thousandth of its mother's weights.
11:49For Zha Zha, the first survival challenge gets even tougher.
11:56It's been a long time for a long time.
12:10It's been a long time for a while, I have to find something to eat.
12:17Hunger comes as the greatest challenge.
12:23Giant pandas consume nearly 20 kilograms of bamboo daily.
12:28Fortunately, bamboo is not hard to find.
12:34There's a place for a flower, just a good place.
12:40Fang Fang's new home is where his ancestors have thrived for generations.
12:52Bamboo has fed pandas for over 8 million years and helped them get through the ice age,
13:00providing an innate sense of security.
13:10Let's go.
13:19I'm sorry.
13:20Who are you?
13:21Who are you?
13:22This is so big.
13:36This is a big guy.
13:40He also likes to eat a dragon.
13:44He really doesn't have a dragon.
13:48He's all eaten from the top.
13:57Although sharing the taste for bamboo and even the name,
14:02Red Pandas and Giant Pandas are not related.
14:08As the sole member of the family Eiluridae,
14:12Red Pandas spend 80% of their lifespan in trees,
14:17helping them escape multiple predators.
14:23Hey, you're good.
14:27This guy on the tree has been caught me so long.
14:32You won't be able to see my dragon.
14:36What's that?
14:39What's that?
14:46Feeding on bamboo tree,
14:48Red Pandas discard bamboo stems
14:51and only consume tender leaves and shoots.
14:55Although basically sharing the same habitats,
15:01Red Pandas and Giant Pandas are not rivals.
15:08Rather, our endeavor to preserve an environment for Giant Pandas
15:13has also benefited Red Pandas.
15:20Hey?
15:22Is there a snake?
15:23Where did the tiger go to the Red Pandas?
15:26I'm going to go.
15:26I'm going to go.
15:43Under human care,
15:45Jia Jia pulls through
15:46and begins to look like a panda.
16:00Unable to open her eyes,
16:02she can feel the world with her faint sense of smell.
16:06The little one is eager to stand up on her weak limbs.
16:23After over half a century of research and trials,
16:27the half-year survival rate
16:29of China's artificially bred panda cubs
16:32has risen from 39% to over 90%.
16:37Fong Fong seems to have adopted to the wild,
16:38boldly exploring around.
16:59Fong Fong seems to have adopted to the wild,
17:02boldly exploring around.
17:04However,
17:07he has overlooked a big issue.
17:14Hey?
17:15Where did I go to the old place of water?
17:19I'm going to go.
17:20I'm going to go.
17:21I'm going to go to the water.
17:22My legs are all hit.
17:30Finding water in the wild is not easy.
17:33A little panic-stricken,
17:35Fong Fong,
17:36driven by instincts,
17:38searches down the valley.
17:40The forest grows denser,
17:58and he enters a large family territory.
18:01Oh,
18:22a child is a black bull.
18:23Oh, I've never seen him before.
18:32He's already entered into our land.
18:36What's he doing?
18:43I'll go ahead and see him soon.
18:53A group of monkeys can form a social group comprising dozens or even up to a hundred members.
19:15An alpha male dominates the family.
19:23Fong Fong's sudden intrusion intrigues the little monkeys.
19:53Hey, you're good.
19:59Hey, what are they doing?
20:03Hey, what are they doing?
20:05Hey, I'm trying to make a mess.
20:08Hey, I don't care about them.
20:11I'm going to drink water.
20:13I'm going to drink water.
20:17Throughout the year, wild pandas migrate according to water source changes.
20:23Fong Fong has undergone systematic rewilding training.
20:27Mastering basic wilderness survival skills like foraging, finding water, and coexisting with companion animals.
20:35In search of water, he is not wandering aimlessly.
20:46In search of water, he is not wandering aimlessly.
20:49I'm going to drink water.
20:51I'm going to drink water.
20:52That's a good one.
20:53Here's the water.
20:55I'm going to drink water.
20:56You're busy.
20:57Let me get a lot of water.
20:59I'm gonna drink water.
21:03I'm going to leave a few hours.
21:04It's going to drink water.
21:05It's going to be water.
21:19After crossing the forest, he greets a river valley.
21:38Unfortunately, it has dried up.
21:41Fang Fang is exhausted.
21:51Bamboo, giant panda's staple, is hard to quickly convert into energy, sustaining the body.
21:59After lengthy evolution, they have developed an energy-efficient lifestyle.
22:04When provided enough food and water, pandas barely move over 500 meters a day.
22:11Today's exercise has exceeded his limits.
22:34Without water, even the best food appears dry and coarse.
22:45Ah, I don't have enough energy.
22:49Then, let's go to sleep.
22:54He is lying flat.
23:00We have no idea whether he snoozes or quits.
23:05In ponds at the research center, fresh, clean water has just been added.
23:28Cubs are sporting in cool water.
23:40Pandas innately know that in hot weather, water can cool the body.
23:45The sun is dark.
24:07It's not going to happen.
24:09It's not going to happen.
24:10It's not going to happen.
24:12Can't you treat us hence?
24:14Isabella,aruPlayer.
24:19Ah isn't it yet?
24:21ŠæŠ»Š°Šŗ immerses on the other way.
24:24Ah?
24:25I'm not sure yet.
24:27Ah, I don't want water.
24:34Ah, I'm Engage.
24:37I need water.

25:10A stream finally appears.
25:27A refreshing drink satiates Fong Fong.
25:40After a few months, Jia-Jia has grown much stronger.
26:09Before the cub turns 1.5 years old, Mom will not let Jia-Jia out of her sights.
26:38A strong curiosity spurs Jia-Jia to constantly explore around her.
26:53Mom barely has time for food.

27:33Mom barely has time for food.
27:36Fortunately, the cub needs rest.
27:39Mom seizes the time to refresh herself.
27:54The cub has only been asleep for a few minutes and is already fully recharged.
28:10Ja-Jia embarks on an adventure.
28:28Climbing mountains, crossing ravines.
28:43And plunging into abyss.
28:58Huh, where is the cub?
29:03Mom is a bit slow.
29:10Come back.
29:34Mom grips the cub with her teeth, looking really angry.
30:02At the heights of the mountains, winter has come.
30:07persecuted Solitary fog does not sleep all day, before the severe winter arrives.
30:12He must migrate to the sunny warmer slope.
30:19Solitary Phong Phong does not sleep all day. Before the severe winter arrives, he must migrate to the sunny, warmer slope.
30:33Blanketed in snow, the road is said to be arduous.
30:39Blanketed in snow.
30:49We are still looking for more and more places to go to the desert.
30:56The blue sea is still in our next house.
31:04I've never seen him before, and I've never seen him before.
31:34Thank you very much.
32:04Thank you very much.
32:34The search center looks different.
32:36Jaja energized is getting mischievous.

33:45Vertical climbing requires greater strength.
33:50Ja-Ja's capabilities obviously cannot match her enthusiasm.
33:55There are plenty of ways.
34:01If you can't climb, just choose a starting point higher up.
34:15Fortunately, the starting point is not that high.
34:25As severe winter sets in, waterfalls on the foot of the mountains freeze.
34:35Life hibernates in silence like a snow-blanketed wonderland.
34:45Yet during the harshest time, sunflowers bloom with ice and snow melting away.
34:55Mountains grow green day by day.
35:05Mountains grow green day by day.
35:10Golden monkeys visit the blossoming forest.
35:20Fresh, sweet petals are earliest blessings from spring.
35:41Waterfall cutting a little roof.
35:52Waterfall cutting a little tip.
35:54Waterfall cutting a littleaya.
35:56Waterfall cutting a little bit more than that expressly.
36:00Waterfall cutting a little bit.
36:04Before mountain snow melts away, patches of hellebore flowers have already burst into bloom.
36:26This plant, unique to mountain areas in western China, basically shares the same habitats with pandas.
36:36Possibly due to similar responses to climate and environmental changes, when hellebore flowers bloom, pandas enter estrus.
36:50At this moment, Fang Fang's instincts also began to stir.
36:55He wandered through the forest, searching for scents left by potential mates.
37:07Unfortunately, there were no female pandas in the nearby mountains.
37:13He decided to leave this area and embark on a journey of love to seek out possible partners.
37:24Mountain roads built by humans once fragmented the giant panda's pristine
37:54habitat, cutting off contact between wild panda populations.
38:01To restore their natural genetic exchange and help them find mates,
38:06the government has closed sections of roads that overlapped heavily with panda territories
38:12and converted certain segments into underground tunnels.
38:19Grass has grown back over the discontinued roads.
38:27It is hoped that this segment will become a love highway for giant pandas.
38:33And now, Fang Fang is walking down this very highway for love.
38:42For the reason why it is, Fang Fang is walking down this place of the lion.
38:47What?
38:48Isab Fang Fang always makes an eye out of the dragon.
38:51I saw her as the first sight of the dragon.
38:52She is walking down this long path.
38:55A lion of friends are walking down this mountain so far.
38:57for a lion of birds.
38:58A lion of birds.
39:03I don't know what it's like, but I don't know if it's not going to be able to fly.
39:21If it's like me, I'll be able to fly.
39:33Panda's estrus is fairly short, two to four weeks a year, and even as brief as a few days.
39:46Fang Fang seems to have smelled romance.
40:00The woman is just in this forest.
40:12But, where will she be in a tree?
40:16How do I find this?
40:20Let's go off.
40:37At the research center, Jia-Jia and Mom have been moved to a new area.
40:43This is the rewilding training area, a transitional zone to help pandas adapt to the wild.
40:56Here, human intervention is minimal.
41:01As winter passes, Jia-Jia has obviously grown bigger.
41:09She has already learned many survival skills.
41:13And her mother's supervision is no longer as strict.
41:18In the blink of an eye, Jia-Jia has climbed a tall tree.
41:26The trees here are a bit too high, though.
41:30Mom does not look worried.
41:34But, accident happens.
41:39Jia-Jia hangs herself in the tree.
41:52Jia-Jia hangs herself in the tree.
41:57Leaving Mom speechless, the naughty cub manages to descend on her own and safely rejoins Mom.
42:27Jaja must grasp another important skill, eating bamboo.
42:39For panda cubs, bamboo eating needs practice.
42:45With a digestive system typical of carnivores, panda cubs lack a crucial plant digesting enzyme.
42:56Acquired fastest through Mom's kisses.
43:03The special gut flora, delivered through saliva, helps digest plant cellulose.
43:19Panda cubs are often weaned around 18 months.
43:24When they master bamboo eating, Mom will gradually recede.
43:31Fong Fong has finally found the girl perching in the tree.
43:38In estrus, female pandas stay in trees, waiting for suitors to come under trees.
43:45The male may have to wait under the tree for several days.
43:52If competitors emerge during this period, fierce fights may erupt.
43:59The male may have to wait under the trees.
44:06The male may have to wait under the tree for several days.
44:13If competitors emerge during this period, fierce fights may erupt.
44:17The male may have to wait under the tree for several days.
44:23The female may have to wait under the tree for several days.
44:29I'm not going to be able to get the girl out there.
44:39I don't know if I can get the girl out there.
44:43But I am standing here.
44:47I wonder if I can keep the girl out there.
44:59It gets freezing cold after unexpected ice, rain and snow.
45:16It's cold and cold.
45:19It's too hard to catch the girl.
45:29Fong Fong gets through the night, seemingly the only male that has made it.
45:59High time for food.
46:11å§åØ,ä½ ēēę.
46:14ęå鄱äŗčå,å°±åę„ę„ä½ .
46:17however, both the competitor and the girl disappear.
46:30Fang Fang, not resigned to failure, is reluctant to leave.
46:53He seems to have made an unexpected discovery.
47:16The other young panda who was competing with him had mysteriously disappeared.
47:23The panda girl had also moved to another tree.
47:28Fang Fang saw her again and happily called out from below the tree.
47:40The panda girl seemed to recognize him too, and finally she let go of her shyness.
47:49This was nature's greatest reward for Fang Fang.
48:07Jaja soon grows up.
48:13With mission accomplished, mom no longer stands by.
48:28We do our best to keep a distance.
48:34Jaja must live independently and take on survival challenges like in the wild.
48:41Later on, I spend little time tracing Fang Fang.
48:51I am aware that he has become a true wild panda.
48:58Roaming freely on the mountains like his countless ancestors.
49:05I am aware that he has become a true wild panda.
49:12I am aware that he has become a true wild panda.
49:19Roaming freely on the mountains like his countless ancestors.
49:25I occasionally meet him and even need some time to confirm whether he is Fang Fang.
49:50I do not need to call him Fang Fang.
49:57I do not need to call him Fang Fang.
50:00Maybe this is the final step of successful reintroduction.
50:25I do not need to call him Fang Fang Fang.
50:31Just call the original name Giant Panda.
