Artificial dens attract wild pandas

Infrared cameras in the Meishan section of the Giant Panda National Park in Sichuan province have captured rare footage of wild pandas loitering around man-made dens in their natural habitat.

"It's truly exciting to see these dens in action," said Yin Xuanhong, a staff member from the section. He revealed that the dens were part of an experiment, and the cameras recorded more than two dozen images of pandas at three designated artificial den sites.

"Judging by the pandas' body sizes and locations, we believe those photos belong to at least two or three different pandas," he added.
