Ecological protection efforts have paid off in Dulan County in northwest China's Qinghai Province, with many wild animals spotted coming out to forage after recent snowfall.

The animals filmed included a herd of red deer on snow-covered slopes, more than 30 blue sheep under second-class state protection, and a snow leopard under first-class state protection.

As continuous efforts have been made to protect the ecological environment, more and more wild animals have settled in the area.
