In the picture, the white giant panda is either walking in the snow or "meditating". It sat next to the tree where the infrared camera was installed, with its back to the camera all the time, thinking thoughtfully like a quiet "little girl" for more than 3 minutes. Three days later, it passed through dense forests and small rivers, appeared in another infrared camera on the ridge 1 km away, and then it took about 10 minutes to reach the foot of the mountain. The infrared camera at the foot of the mountain recorded its departure.
Tan Yingchun, executive of Sichuan Wolong White Giant Panda Conservation Research Project, said that from the images taken by infrared cameras, this white giant panda has grown up a lot from May 20 19 to February 2020, and its physique is strong. Compared with the snow-white body when he was a child, the hair on his limbs still shows a faint golden color when he is an adult.
In two records in 2020, this white giant panda was alone. We calculated that it is about 3 years old now, and judged that it has left its mother and established its own "portal".
Extended data
The white giant panda has basically adapted to the living environment:
Li Sheng, a researcher from Peking University College of Life Sciences, said that the white giant panda in the video has a steady pace, strong body and bright fur, which shows that it is a healthy wild giant panda. Albinism is a rare phenomenon, but it widely exists in various vertebrate groups.
"Albinism" is usually caused by gene mutation of animals, which hinders the synthesis of pigments in animals, and appears white, golden white or light gold in external form. Simple "albino" mutation does not necessarily affect the survival of individual animals. This white giant panda can grow to about 3 years old, which shows that it has basically adapted to the living environment and is in good living condition.
