Pandas in the Wild

Pandas in the Wild captures the loving warmth between a mother panda and her newborn, the fierce competition among male pandas fighting for females as spring approaches and the harsh struggles pandas endure to survive the snow-buried winter. It's a journey into a remote and exotic locale and an up-close look at the secret lives of these rare mammals-an intimate portrait of one of the world's most treasured animals. Smithsonian Networks captures the panda in it's natural habitat for the first time, behaving in ways you won't see at the zoo.
