MIANYANG -- An infra-red camera video footage has captured a cute moment of a mother wild giant panda schooling her baby cub in fighting skills in Laohegou section of the Giant Panda National Park in Pingwu County, Mianyang City of southwest China's Sichuan Province.

The video shows how the panda cub is observing, imitating and practicing the fighting skills showed by the mother panda, articulating that the old saying of "the parent is the child's first teacher" couldn't be more true.

The giant panda mother, with her utmost patience, keeps on teaching her cub those skills, hoping one day the cub can become a kungfu panda and survive independently in the wild using those tactics.

Generally, the age at which pandas leave their mothers to live on their own is about 2 years old. Panda mothers will teach their babies how to get various surviving skills including fighting, according to a staff member working at the national park.

In recent years, Pingwu has made unremitting efforts in integrating protection and development and therefore the ecological environment of the Pingwu area of the Giant Panda National Park is getting increasingly better, and the biodiversity protection has achieved remarkable results.
