 In 2005 it was announced that research had concluded that the giant panda ("Ailuropoda melanoleuca") population in Qinling Mountains, China, was sufficiently different from other pandas to warrant the creation of a new subspecies, "Ailuropoda melanoleuca qinlingensis".Among other differences the Qinling panda has brown colouration replacing the familiar black and white fur of typical giant pandas.In 2006 pictures were published of a potential new species of carnivoran, known in the press as the cat-fox.
