Can you tell the difference between the two subspecies of giant panda?
The photogenic animals are divided into Sichuan and Qinling subspecies.
The Qinling giant panda, which exists in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, has a round head and short mouth, which makes it look like a cat.
The Sichuan giant panda, which lives in Sichuan province, is more bearlike and has a bigger and more oval head, according to a new study.
