Panda adapts to life on the wild side
![Taotao, the first panda to get wildlife training, was released a year ago in Ya'an, Sichuan province. He is spotted on Oct 30, 2013, and a physical examination confirmed it was Taotao and it has adjusted well to the wild during the past year. It was released again after the check-ups. Born in Wolong nature reserve in 2010, Taotao has received wildlife training in three stages, with each stage expanding his territory. After that, it was moved to Ya'an for a rejuvenation program at Liziping nature reserve.
