First captive-bred panda doing fine in wild  

中國首只回歸自然熊貓適應良好

臥龍中國保護大熊貓研究中心5日向媒體通報了中國首只回歸大自然大熊貓“淘淘”在野外生存的情況，稱其健康狀況良好，已良好的適應了野外環境。

Chengdu (CNS) -- The first captive-bred giant panda released into the wild in China is in good condition, according to the Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda on Tuesday.

We have monitored "Tao Tao" for the past three months, and his ability to find food and water and carry out other activities appear normal, the center said at a press conference.

"Tao Tao" has remained active, judging by data from his location trackers and sensors, and the places where he rests are well chosen to avoid danger, said the center, which is located in Wolong, Sichuan province.

All this shows that he has acclimatized to the wild, the center said, but he will face greater challenges from wild pandas.

"Tao Tao" was released into the Liziping Nature Reserve on October 11 last year after undergoing three stages of training.

The center said that a panda in the second stage of training will also be selected and released into the wild, and that two or three pandas will be added to the training program this year.
