Pandas in disguise.

Chinese scientists don panda costumes to minimize cubs’ contact with humans. The researchers came up themselves with the unusual way of dressing up to study the bears up close. The costumes are tailor made for the Wolong Panda Research Center.

A silly suit worn for a serious purpose: they don’t want the cubs growing too attached to humans because someday they hope to release the pandas into a nearby unsupervised reserve.

More info here and here.

The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca, literally meaning "black and white cat-foot") is a bear native to central-western and south western China. Though it belongs to the order Carnivora, the panda's diet is 99% bamboo. Due to farming, deforestation, and other development, the panda has been driven out of the lowland areas where it once lived. The giant panda is a conservation reliant endangered species.
