While visiting Chengdu in the Sichuan province of western China, I stayed one whole afternoon observing the pandas at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, the largest of the world. Without protection by the government, this breed would rapidly becomes extinct; the female ovulates only for 2 weeks once every two years. They freely roam within a 50-hectare forest being feed twice a day with bamboo leaves, their favorites. Although they seem so cuddly and huggable, they prefer and aggressively protect their space when they're not sleeping. I took this photo as it seemed like only one panda in a mirror.
