Mr. Shi, a netizen in question, told the Jimu News reporter that on April 11, he and his friends drove a motorcycle on the West Sichuan Small Ring Road, from Ya'an to Aba direction, and when they passed through Baoxing County, Ya'an, they accidentally found a giant panda in the water in the roadside river.
"The scenery along the way is very beautiful, when I saw the scenery, I thought it was a puppy falling into the water, and I was going to save it, and I stopped the motorcycle to the side of the road to see whether it was a giant panda or a juvenile. ”
Mr. Shi said that at that time, according to his observations, the giant pandas in the river were dead, floating on the surface of the water, motionless. The river is on the side of the road, and the water flow in the section of the river where the incident occurred is deep and slow.
"I didn't see a giant panda all the way, and I finally had the opportunity to see it, but I passed away, which is a pity and very heartbreaking. Mr. Shi said.
Mr. Shi said that the incident occurred in a canyon, and he then reported the situation to local villagers, and the local government has gone to the scene to deal with it.
Latest developments: Preliminary investigation, drowning
Today, Zheng Congjun, head of the wildlife protection unit of the Baoxing County Forestry Bureau, told the Beijing News reporter that personnel have arrived at the scene to deal with it, and no external injuries and scars have been found on the panda's body.
