An inspector in the reserve found the photos earlier this week when he was checking the cameras.
They recorded the real living situations of wild pandas, and they can help zoologists study the panda population in the reserve, said Liu.
To better protect pandas, Gansu animal protection authorities are conducting a fourth field survey on the pandas, and zoologists will gather the animals' DNA information on a large scale for the first time.
The third national census of giant pandas, carried out in the 2000-2002 period, indicated the Baishuijiang Nature Reserve is home to 117 wild pandas.
