Forty-four red pandas have moved into the Pu'er National Park in southwest China.
The 13 male and 31 female red pandas, also known as lesser pandas or firefoxes, are listed as vulnerable and endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
Among the forty-four red pandas, six-year-old Huanhuan is particularly eye-catching.
According to a worker at the park, Huanhuan is the sole white red panda in China.
His white fur, however, does not appear to have affected Huanhuan. Not only does he get along well with other red pandas, he also found a mate three years ago and has had a female cub. The baby did not inherit her father's white gene.
Native to the eastern Himalayas and the mountainous forest of southwest China, it is estimated fewer than 10,000 adult red pandas currently remain.
