Panda, as a creature, also conforms to the diversity of our species, so the origin of white panda is more due to the mutation of its own gene, which leads to the difference of personality performance. Of course, compared with the black-and-white color matching of most giant pandas, the rarity of white giant pandas is self-evident. Therefore, according to the fact that white giant pandas become gold and white when they grow up, the relevant departments said after investigation:
According to Li Sheng, a member of the bear expert group of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and a researcher from Peking University College of Life Sciences, 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. ? Albino? Although this phenomenon is rare, it exists widely in all kinds of vertebrates. ? Albino? Usually, it is due to the gene mutation of individual animals that the synthesis of pigments in animals is hindered, and the external morphology is white, golden white or light gold. Simple? Albino? Mutations do 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.
Li Sheng said? Judging from the fact that it has not been photographed in this area since then, it may have migrated and spread from its birthplace to its surrounding habitats. Judging from the scattered habits of wild giant panda females, it is likely to be a female individual who will leave her mother's home to find a new habitat when she becomes an adult. In order to further understand the individual's condition and the distribution of albino mutant genes in the local wild giant panda population, it is necessary to expand the monitoring scope and use DNA detection and other technologies to find more evidence. ?
Apart from the change of coat color, it is still inconclusive whether the albino mutation of the white giant panda will have other collateral effects on its physiology and health. Further research on this issue will help to further enhance human understanding of ancient giant panda species, scientifically evaluate the impact of albino mutant genes on the genetic diversity of giant panda wild population, and is of great significance to the cause of giant panda protection.
It is reported that *** 15 people from the research and protection team of white giant panda in Wolong, Sichuan participated in the project. The project lasted for one year, and high-density gridded infrared cameras were deployed around the area of 15 square kilometers where the white giant panda was first discovered, aiming at further studying and evaluating the specific impact of albinism symptoms on individual survival and adaptability through continuous tracking. ?
But at present, the growth and development of albino giant pandas are basically normal, and there are no other physiological diseases. The main symptoms of albinism may also be due to some similarity? Albinism? However, according to relevant tests, there is no such disease, and the white giant panda has good physiological characteristics, which is no different from ordinary giant pandas. So this point is more focused on the changes brought about by mutations. In addition, I think this albinism is not only found in giant pandas, but also in many animals. However, different expressions of characters lead to different colors.
Generally speaking, the emergence of white giant pandas is more caused by mutations. As the only albino giant panda in the world, its scientific research value and observation value are very high. Therefore, human beings need to keep a distance from these rare protected animals or wild animals and advocate their protection to avoid extinction due to hunting.
