Two rare moose have been captured by an infrared camera in a national nature reserve in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province.
The moose or elk, which are the largest and tallest member of the deer family, were captured for the first time since the reserve was established in 2013.
The video showed a bull and a cow leisurely foraging for food, meaning they had enough to eat and felt safe, according to reserve staff.
Due to their shrinking population and limited habitat range as the result of human activities and climate change, moose have been on the the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) red list of threatened species since 2008, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
In China, there are no more than 3,000 moose, which mainly inhabit northeastern forests. It is a state second-grade protection animal.
