Cameras not only record images of endangered species, they also witness the birth of new ones. Chasing and taking photos of animals are the daily routine for Song Xinqiang, a member of the conservation and research team in the Daxiangling area of the Giant Panda National Park. While shooting in 2020, he accidentally recorded a new bird species called yellow-rumped honeyguide. Check out the video to learn more.
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, but there are many other animals there too. 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 into the bamboo groves and uncover interesting stories with the locals.
