SOUNDBITE (Chinese): MA WENHU, Staffer, Tangjiahe area of China's Giant Panda National Park "Because the light was particularly good that day, I scanned the slope opposite me with a monocular telescope. As a result, I accidentally came across the pandas on a tree." Park experts said the behavior of giant pandas smearing odor with their perianal glands, coupled with the fact that the first panda to climb the tree was a female, indicates the arrival of giant panda estrus in spring. The fourth national survey of giant pandas in 2015 found that there were 1,864 wild giant pandas in China.
