1 / 7   Two pandas will be sent back to the wild later this month after training of more than two years, the China Giant Panda Protection and Research Center said on Saturday. The captive-bred pair, a male and a female, have been receiving training to survive in the wild at Wolong National Nature Reserve in southwest China's Sichuan Province. Ba Xi, the male panda, was born on July 26, 2015, and Ying Xue, just 14 days earlier. At a meeting organized by the State Forestry Bureau earlier this month, researchers agreed that the pair are in good health and have developed the ability to live independently. They will be the second panda pair released into the wild. The picture shows Yingxue in the training environment. /Chinanews Photo
