A rare
all-white panda has been caught on camera at a nature reserve in southwest
China, showing albinism exists among wild pandas in the region, state media
reported.
The
spotless, red-eyed animal was photographed while trekking through the forest
mid-April in southwestern Sichuan province, said official news agency Xinhua on
Saturday.
The panda
is an albino between one to two years old, said Li Sheng, a researcher
specialising in bears at Peking University, who was quoted in Xinhua's report.
The
Wolong National Nature Reserve—where the animal was spotted—told AFP it had no
further details about the albino panda.
More than
80 percent of the world's wild pandas live in Sichuan, with the rest in Shaanxi
and Gansu province.
