'Naughty' panda cubs play with zoo keeper
  • 8 years ago
According to reports this week, following decades of conservation work, the giant panda is no longer on the endangered species list.

This video, filmed at a zoo in Beijing in 2014, shows how fantastic giant pandas are, with three cubs caught on camera being naughty in their enclosure.

The amusing clip features the youngsters generally misbehaving and playing while the zoo keeper tries to clean their enclosure and feed them.

Thanks to efforts, largely by China, there are now more than 2,000 giant pandas meaning they are no longer registered as endangered, but as vulnerable instead.

However, the animals are still reportedly under threat with climate change scientists estimating that large proportions of their bamboo-based habitats could be wiped out in the near-mid future.
