A group of tourists got a bit of a rare treat when they spotted a wild giant panda in a
creek in China.
The animal was found walking back and forth along a creek in northwest China's Shaanxi Province.
Tourists were concerned whether the panda had lost its way or was ill. but he looked
like he was enjoying himself.
Giant pandas are a rare species under the state protection. We do not usually see them.
It's so amazing and exciting to see one.
A member of a local animal protection station confirmed that the panda is in good health
after checking the animal over.
The wild giant panda was spotted in the southern foot of Qinling Mountains, which is a natural
habitat for the creatures, but it's not often they are seen in public.
