The world’s only albino panda was discovered in 2019 in Sichuan, China province.

The first images were captured by infrared cameras in the Wolong Nature Reserve when he was still a bear cub. Since then, the researchers have monitored the animal to obtain better images and learn about its ease in the habitat.

It grows in good health and interacts normally with other specimens of its species within a radius of about 4.4 square kilometers. Likewise, experts know that he lives near his mother and two younger bear cubs who would be his brothers, all of them with the usual black and white fur. In the latest images from the researchers, the panda is seen eating bamboo, rubbing against tree trunks and courting females.

Studies have confirmed through his depositions the accuracy of his gender, he is a male. The organic samples allowed genetic sequencing analysis to be carried out, explained He Tingmei, deputy director of the Wolong Reserve. Experts are doing research to learn and disseminate more biological information about the albino panda.
