On October 26th 2008, a villager of Wolong Gengda Town found a wild panda at the gate to his house he contacted officials, who organised for the panda to be transferred to the Wolong Hetaoping base. Once there she was given a physical examination and a transfusion. The female panda thought to be between 10 and 12 years of age was in a poor condition and under weight (60kg). She is currently being watched and cared for by the staff.

As the weather is becoming colder and the quake caused the whole landscape in the area to change, pandas are finding it difficult to find food. Mr Li Desheng deputy directory of Wolong Nature Reserve and CCRCGP said that the begining of Autumn and Spring is when they rescue the greatest number of pandas. He said that more patrols are being put on to search for pandas which are having difficulty finding food
