A rare albino giant panda – believed to be the only one of its kind – has been spotted again in the wild in southwestern China.
The distinctive animal was first spotted by the nature reserve’s cameras in April 2019, at about 2,000m above sea level. The reserve released the first images of the animal in May that year, showing its white fur and claws and red eyes. This is the first albino giant panda recorded in the wild, Li Sheng, a researcher at Peking University’s school of life sciences, was quoted as saying in the CCTV report.
Among them is a male named Qizai, who was first spotted in November 2009 at the Foping National Nature Reserve in northwestern China’s Shaanxi province.
