Infrared cameras have captured footage of the world's only all-white panda approaching a mother panda and her cub in the Wolong National Nature Reserve in Sichuan province, reserve management authorities said on Saturday.
In the footage recorded at the end of February, the all-white panda walked toward the mother panda and the cub resting in a tree hollow and signaled its desire to interact. The mother panda remained calm and didn't move.
When the mother and her cub eventually left, the all-white panda returned and smelled the spot where they had been.
With no spots and red eyes, it was determined that the wild giant panda was an albino, and is thought to be the only one of its kind.
