A drone recently filmed a herd of takin roaming and foraging at 2,400 meters in a national park in northwest China's Gansu province. Known as alpine elves, the takin is a first-class protected species in China with strict habitat needs. The footage shows adult takins and calves grazing freely among meadows and shrubs, suggesting the area has become a stable habitat for the species. #ChinaBiodiversity | CGTN Global Watch
