This unique panda has all the characteristics of albino syndrome including snowy white fur, white claws and red eyes.

"This is the first time an albino panda has been recorded with a camera. This shows a genetic mutation in the giant panda population," said Li Sheng, a researcher at Northern University. Kinh, said.

"Based on the picture, we see this panda is still physically healthy with steady steps. Gene transformation may not affect the normal life of the species," he said.

However, Li Sheng also said albino syndrome, although not affecting the body of the panda, still has the ability to make it easier for animals to hide and more sensitive to sunlight. This significantly affects the animal's life and fertility.

Protected area management officials say it will install more cameras to monitor the development of the albino panda, how it comes into contact with the rest of the population and assess whether the extraordinary appearance is influential. to its fertility or not. According to Mr. Li Sheng, this bear is only one or two years old.
