Two male pandas from the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Southwest China's Sichuan province will be released into the wild this week.
The duo, each aged 2, will be released in the Liziping Nature Reserve in Sichuan's Shimian county after more than two years of training for surviving in the wild.
They can look for food and water independently and avoid danger in the wild, according to Zhang Hemin, executive chief of the center.
It will be the second time that two pandas are released into the wild together.
On Oct 20, 2016, two female pandas, aged 2 and 3, were released in Liziping.
According to the GPS tags on their necks, both fare well in the wild, Zhang said.
