A wild giant panda in southern China escaped a pack of wild dogs after it was chased across a grassy area, requiring local villagers to scare them away.
The young bear was photographed running away from the dogs on March 6, with dogs chasing it uphill, according to MailOnline, citing state-run Chinese media.

The cub, which weighed only about 110 pounds, luckily escaped as villagers from Nanqing Village in Yuexi came to its rescue.
They reportedly heard the barks of the dogs and saw the panda.
The villagers, who were herding cattle, said the bear was not harmed.
According to the latest data from the WWF in 2014, there were around 1,800 giant pandas left in the wild.
