Panda 101 ∣ Colors of Giant Pandas

Hey there! Do you picture giant pandas as only black and white?

In reality, their fur isn't just limited to these two colors! China has even discovered brown pandas and the world's only white panda—rare "hidden editions" of the panda world. So far, there have been seven recorded cases of brown pandas, either in person or in photos. Among them, Qi Zai is the only brown panda in captivity.

Research suggests that these unique fur colors result from genetic mutations or the loss of certain genes.
