Photo by @amivitale #onassignment for @natgeo. One-year-old Jin Bao Bao has gotten the hang of climbing trees at Bifengxia Giant Panda Breeding and Research Center in Sichuan Province, China. Pandas begin learning to climb at 6 months old as a way to avoid predators. They also love to play as they learn to climb and gain independence from their mothers.
