Chinese media reports that experts spotted her last month.

Although there are photos of pandas that are often referred to as albino, they are not truly albino pandas.

Almost all of them still have characteristic patterns, they are just paler in color.

"People's Daily" states that the panda in the photo is a one- to two-year-old cub.

The gender is also unknown, and experts say they will try to install more cameras to monitor its development.
