A keeper at China's Dujiangyan Panda Base and Centre for Disease Control, has found the perfect selfie partner - a baby panda called QingQing.

In video released by iPanda, a multi-platform media channel created by China Network Television (CNTV) to promote the protection of the species, the keeper is seen snapping numerous selfies as QingQing nibbles away at his shoulders and throws his furry arms around his neck.

The panda cub was born on August 18, 2015 and officially moved to the centre earlier this month, on March 14.

The keeper is considered his foster parent, but as soon as QingQing turns two, the pair will no longer be able to see one another.

According to staff at iPanda, the furry animals turn aggressive as they grow up.

QingQing has a twin sister who currently lives in Wolong Panda Centre in Gengda, Sichuan province.
