A video clip shows the baby panda being cozy with its mother on a snow-covered hill.
The cub tried to climb the slope while the mother panda squatted at a high place waiting for it. In the end, the little thing staggered into its mother's arms without any assistance.
The video was shot on March 2 by an infrared camera in the upper section of the Qiaozhuang River.
According to Hou Rong, an expert at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, panda cubs can crawl slowly at three months old and walk freely at six months old, and then they begin to feed on bamboo.
