野生大熊猫是怎么“谈恋爱”的？
近日，位于四川省广元市青川县境内的大熊猫国家公园唐家河片区4日对外发布称，3月3日，该片区工作人员发现并拍摄到一对野生大熊猫“谈恋爱”的场面。
Two adult giant pandas were found "dating" in a tree in Tangjiahe National Nature Reserve at China's Giant Panda National Park in southwest China's Sichuan Province on March 3.
当天中午，大熊猫国家公园唐家河片区工作人员马文虎与当地两名媒体工作人员一行在途经唐家河摩天岭将军寨区域时，突然发现远处的树梢上有一团白色身影。野外经验十分丰富的马文虎立马判断，这是一只野生大熊猫。
The courtship scene was spotted by Ma Wenhu, a staff member of Tangjiahe National Nature Reserve, and a crew of Guangyuan TV station in Guangyuan city, Sichuan.
While passing an area in Motianling mountain, which lies at the junction of Sichuan Province, northwest China's Shaanxi Province and Gansu Province, the team saw a white figure in a tree not far away. And Ma, who has patrolled extensively at the nature reserve, immediately concluded that what he saw was a giant panda.
面对来之不易的机会，大家快速拿起手中的相机悄悄地进行拍摄。当镜头逐步拉近，这团白色身影果然是一只野生大熊猫。大熊猫懒洋洋地睡在树枝上晒着太阳，十分惬意。拍摄过程中，众人又有了新发现，另外一只野生大熊猫从树下一步一步向树上的大熊猫爬去，临近时，不断用自己的后腿抓臀部，随后磨蹭着树干，让树干摇晃起来而想引起对方的注意。
The TV crew took the rare chance and quickly started to capture the giant panda on film. As the camera zoomed in on the white figure, members of the team found that it was indeed a giant panda, who was lounging on a branch in the sun.
After a while, another giant panda appeared on the scene. It climbed up the tree to the giant panda. And as it neared the giant panda in the tree, it frequently rubbed its buttocks against the trunk of the tree.
据专家解释，这是大熊猫在利用肛周腺涂抹气味的行为，不难看出，树上左边的是只雄性大熊猫，树上右边的是只雌性大熊猫，这样的场景与大熊猫发情期到来有着十分密切的关系。
The giant panda was smearing odor using its perianal glands, according to an expert, who explained that the giant panda that was first spotted enjoying the sunshine in the tree was a female and that the one which climbed up the tree later was a male.
Such scenes are closely related to the arrival of the estrus season for giant pandas, the expert said.
据悉，截至目前，大熊猫国家公园唐家河片区已经连续8年在摩天岭区域拍摄到野生大熊猫，2021年首次记录到野生大熊猫发情打斗。如今，越来越多的视频资料为大熊猫野外繁殖行为研究提供了重要信息，进一步揭示唐家河是大熊猫重要的分布区域。
Located in Qingchuan county, Guangyuan city, Sichuan Province, Tangjiahe National Nature Reserve is an important distribution area of giant pandas. Wild giant pandas have been captured on camera in areas around the Motianling mountain in the nature reserve for eight consecutive years.
