00:00THOMAS IN THE WILD
00:07You must be very excited, Thomas.
00:10Oh, I am, Yong Bao. I can't wait to take the film crew to the...
00:15Wait, where am I taking them?
00:18To the Nature Reserve.
00:20Oh, yes, the Nature Reserve.
00:23It's a special place where animals and plants are looked after and protected by the local community.
00:29They are very proud of it.
00:31It must be very special if people want to make a film there.
00:35Oh, it is. Come on, Thomas, we don't want to be late.
00:47What are they going to film at the Nature Reserve?
00:49Giant pandas! Woo-hoo!
00:52You see, the giant panda is the national animal of China.
00:57A giant panda? I've never seen one of those before.
01:02That's not surprising because giant pandas are very rare.
01:05There aren't many out in the wild.
01:07And they are super cute!
01:10They are a bit like big black and white teddy bears.
01:15Oh, they sound amazing.
01:20Rare, giant, cute.
01:23And the national animal of China.
01:26Of course.
01:27Hello there. Are you the train taking us to film the giant pandas at the Nature Reserve?
01:33Yes, I am. And I can't wait to see them.
01:36Sorry, Thomas, the pandas are inside the reserve and trains can't go in there.
01:42Well, then I'll see one in the forest on the way there.
01:46I don't think that's going to happen, Thomas.
01:49We've worked on this railway a very long time.
01:53And even we've never seen a wild giant panda in the bamboo forests.
01:58Well, I'm going to look for one anyway.
02:09As I made my way to the Nature Reserve, I kept looking for giant pandas.
02:16Why have we stopped?
02:18Shh! I can see something up ahead. An animal.
02:23We told you, Thomas. You'll never see a giant panda in the wild.
02:29Quick! Roll camera!
02:35Is that a giant panda?
02:38No, Thomas. It's a panda for sure.
02:42Yes, it's a panda for sure, but it's a red panda.
02:46They're quite rare too, but not as rare and hard to spot as a giant panda.
02:55The crew was happy to film the red panda, but I really wanted to see a giant panda.
03:03You're not going to see one, Thomas.
03:06Well, I might. What do they look like?
03:09Their fur is white like snow and black like shadows.
03:14Everything An-An and Yin-Long said just made me more determined than ever to spot a giant panda.
03:20And if they really were giant, how hard could they be to find in the wild?
03:27Look! A giant footprint!
03:42Hi! Hello!
03:49Hi!
03:51Hi!
03:53Hi!
03:55Ha-ha-ha-ha!
04:01Choo-choo!
04:06Bye-bye, Thomas!
04:11So, I kept looking everywhere for a black and white animal.
04:18Come on, Thomas!
04:20Shh! I can see something! A black and white animal up ahead!
04:25But we've got to hurry up or we won't get to the nature reserve before nightfall.
04:30And then we won't see anything!
04:33What's that? Over there!
04:36Is that a giant panda?
04:38No, Thomas. It's an Asian black bear.
04:43We are very lucky to see one of those. They are also quite rare.
04:47But it's not a giant panda.
04:49No, it's not.
04:56Hurry up, Thomas!
05:01Now what's the problem?
05:03Shh!
05:09Wow!
05:12Are those...?
05:14They are! Keep quiet, Thomas!
05:18We don't want to disturb them.
05:20Wow!
05:22They're not quite as big as I'd imagined.
05:25No, Thomas. Those are panda cubs!
05:29Oh, look! There's the mother!
05:33We stayed to watch the giant pandas in the wild
05:37until they disappeared back into the forest.
05:41Come on, Thomas. Let's go to the nature reserve now.
05:57We're here!
05:59And look! More giant pandas!
06:05Huh? Wait, that... What?
06:08They're not real giant pandas.
06:11They're people dressed like giant pandas
06:14so the baby panda cubs won't get used to seeing people.
06:18Those people will look after the giant pandas
06:22until they're big enough to look after themselves
06:25so that there will be more giant pandas in the wild
06:28and they won't disappear forever.
06:30I can't believe we saw a giant panda in the wild.
06:34And all because of you, Thomas.
06:37That's right. You didn't give up until we'd seen one.
06:41The film crew were thrilled to have seen so much
06:44of China's amazing wildlife.
06:46And now they're going back to the nature reserve.
06:49I can't believe we saw a giant panda in the wild.
06:52We've seen so much of China's amazing wildlife.
06:56And so was I.
