Images of a male Elliot's pheasant were captured on an infrared camera in Jiulingshan National Nature Reserve in east China's Jiangxi Province.

Elliot's pheasant is endemic to southeastern China and is under first-class national protection. Its population has dropped dramatically over the past three decades at the hands of habitat loss and poaching.

Thanks to the efforts in environmental and wildlife protection, the diversity of flora and fauna has begun to restore, according to a local official.
