On June 19, 2024, at 6:05 am, a villager in Yincheng, Hubei, Mainland China, discovered a brightly colored bird with long tail feathers, which upon inspection by officials from the Natural Resources and Planning Bureau, was confirmed to be the Chinese national first-level protected animal 'Reeves's Pheasant' (scientific name: Syrmaticus reevesii). The bird was subsequently sent to a state-owned forest farm for release. The Reeves's Pheasant, also known as a long-tailed pheasant, is indigenous to China and primarily found in mountainous forests with an elevation of 300 to 2000 meters. It is currently classified as a first-level protected animal in China and a globally vulnerable species by the IUCN.
