61 Fossilized Remains of Giant Pandas Found in Asia's Longest Cave

Sixty-one fossilized burrows of giant pandas have been discovered in the Shuangqiao Cave, which is considered the longest cave in Asia and is located in Suiyang County, Guizhou Province, China. This site is the largest collection of giant panda fossils in the world. The results of the 25th international scientific expedition, recently announced, include nine new fossils, along with evidence of panda pawprints showing animals entering and moving within the cave before falling and becoming trapped in a deep well, where they lost their lives. Additionally, remains of ancient animals such as takins, rhinoceroses, and stegodons were found, along with a complete skeleton of a juvenile giant tapir. These discoveries indicate that the cave provides a rich environment for ancient fossils. The entire explored system extends 481.5 kilometers in length and reaches a depth of 912 meters, making it the third deepest cave in the world and the longest in Asia.
