The nominate subspecies Ailuropoda melanoleuca consists of most extant populations of panda. These animals are principally found in Sichuan and display the typical stark black and white contrasting colors. The QinlingPanda AilipodaMelanoleucaQinlingensis is restricted to the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi at elevations of 1300–3000 m. The typical black and white pattern of SichuanGiantPandas is replaced with a dark brown versus light brown pattern. The skull of A. m. qinlingensis is smaller than its relatives, and it has larger molars. A detailed study of the giant panda's genetic history from 2012 confirms that the separation of the Qinlin population occurred about 300,000 years ago, and reveals that the non-Qinlin population further diverged into two groups, named the Minshan and the Qionglai-Daxiangling-Xiaoxiangling-Liangshan group respectively, about 2,800 years ago #GiantPandasSeria #SichuanProvinceSeria #ChineseAnimalsSeria #AsianAnimalsSeria #SichuanPandasSeria #ChinesePandasSeria #AsiaPandasSeria #PandasSeria #PandalarSeria #EndangeredSeria #EndangeredDaySeria #19Mayis2017cuma #19MayisSeria #2017MaySeria #2017FridaySeria #FridayMaySeria FridaySeria .
