Workers at a wildlife sanctuary in China are wearing panda costumes smeared with panda poo.
It sounds crazy. Why are they doing this?
The answer is that these pandas will soon be released back into the wild. And the keepers want them to forget all about humans, so they can be wild pandas again.
To do this, the keepers are wearing panda suits and wiping panda poo and pee over them, so they look and smell like pandas.
Liu Dingzhen, a professor from Beijing, says the idea of panda costumes was first thought of in 2008. "We hope after years of training, these pandas will avoid humans, instead of relying on them when they are released into nature," he says.
The idea works well, says the professor!
