BEIJING, Nov.10 -- A RARE brown baby giant panda has been discovered by researchers in northwest China, according to China Business View.

The two-month old baby has brown fur where normal pandas sport black. The cub still hasn't opened its eyes nor walked, said experts with Foping Giant Panda Reserve in Shaanxi Province.

The baby's mother is a normal color, said Liang Qihui. The brown panda is the fifth to be recorded in China, he said.

Scientists are still not sure why some rare pandas have brown fur, the report said. The first brown giant panda Dandan was also found in Foping in 1985.

Dandan was sick when discovered and was taken back to the Panda Study Center. She later gave birth to three normal giant pandas, yet all died young.

The giant panda is one of the world's most endangered species and is found only in China.

Maybe it's just when they're few months old but they will be normal as they age?
Should be cool but weird to see a brown panda. I prefer the original colour of panda.
