Time to test your eyesight! In the Qionglai Mountains, some 200 rainy days a year and low visibility caused by alpine clouds conceal many creatures. While a red panda takes its time enjoying food in the fog, a mob of Tibetan macaques interrupts. They sway the branches and eat whatever they can pick at will, as if the mist can hide the disturbance they have created to the poor red panda.
About Journeys in Nature: Qionglai Mountains Series
Giant pandas were first discovered in the Qionglai Mountains in southwest China's Sichuan Province. There are more than 500 wild pandas living in the mountains now. However, there are a lot more than just pandas. In this series, you will see red pandas, sambar deer and Tibetan macaques. CGTN Nature takes you on a journey to track the pandas deep in the bamboo groves and uncover some interesting stories with the locals.
