But the panda has defied expectations, as it is now five or six years old and has shown no signs of significant health problems.It also captured the white panda playing with other pandas."So far we can tell that the white panda is doing very well in its species group and in the natural environment," he said.The deputy managing director of the nature reserve is hopeful DNA can be captured to learn more about the creature.
