A recently released video captured two young giant pandas playfully wrestling at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding.

In the footage, one panda mischievously tugs at the other's hind leg, trying to pull its companion down from a wooden ladder. Once his plan succeeds, the pair continue their lighthearted grappling on the grass.

The playful duo are Jiao Yi, born on June 15, 2022, the first panda cub born at the base that year, and Zhi Yu, born just a day later. Both are males, currently inhabiting the Star Giant Panda Nursery House of the base.

Located in southwest China's Sichuan Province, the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is a world-renowned institution for the conservation of giant pandas, and also a major tourist attraction in the province.
