陝西現棕色大熊貓：告別黑白照！

This rare brown panda is walking proof that, when it comes to nature, it's not always a case of black and white. Unlike his More common monochrome cousins, giant panda Qizai's coat is tan and brown.
這隻罕見的棕色大熊貓證明了，在自然環境中，大熊貓並不永遠都是黑白的。大熊貓七仔和它單色的親戚不同，它是黃褐色與棕色相間的。

The quirky creature is one of a rare subspecies that exists only in the remote Qinlig Mountains in western China.
這隻奇怪的動物是罕見物種之一，僅存在於中國西部秦嶺一帶山區裏。

Staff at the Shaanxi Wild Animal Research Centre, where the panda is cared for, say many others like him have only patches of brown in their fur - making Qizai especially rare.
七仔現在正在陝西野生動物研究中心被悉心照料，那裏工作人員說七仔這樣的大熊貓實屬罕見，因爲大部分像它一樣的熊貓都是隻有星星點點的棕色皮毛。

'He has a totally brown and tan coat which is very rare. Most just have a few brown patches,' one keeper said.
“它有着完全是黃褐色與棕色的皮毛，這實屬罕見。大多數大熊貓都只有幾塊棕色的皮毛而已，”一位飼養員說。

Experts believe the colony of 300 pandas' unusual colouring is down a combination of a genetic mutation and the animals' local diet in the remote mountainous region.
專家相信這隻熊貓不同尋常的顏色，是源於基因突變以及熊貓在偏遠山區的飲食。

'They only exist in the wild on these mountains and there are brown variants of other species in the area too,' the keeper said.
“它們僅存活在野外山區，那裏也有其他物種的棕色變種” 飼養員表示。
