This copper-colored pheasant strolling in the meadow is a female Chinese monal. Sensitive by nature, she always feels threatened. The species are often spotted on foggy days in mountains because the fog blocks the view of predators. However, takins sharing the same habitat try to avoid fog as they sometimes can't see clearly and lose track. Check out the video to see what happened to pheasants and takins on one foggy day!

About Journeys in Nature: Minshan Mountains Series

Minshan Mountains are a mountain range lying at the borders of China's Sichuan and Gansu provinces. Most of the mountains have steep walls and sharp peaks. In this series, CGTN Nature's filming crew went into the mountain range located in Sichuan, which is also part of the Giant Panda National Park in China. They traveled through the dense forest and crossed the rapids to capture the scene of stunning nature and fairy-like animals. Stay tuned!
