BEIJING — A rare all-white giant panda has been photographed for the first time, according to a nature reserve in southwestern China. Wolong National Nature Reserve in Sichuan province released a photo this past weekend showing the panda crossing through a verdant forest in the reserve. Qizai, a nine-year-old giant panda with brown and white fur, lives in captivity in China. Only a handful of brown and white pandas have been spotted in the last few decades. According to a 2015 survey by the Chinese government, there are only about 1,864 giant pandas left in the world.
