The researcher spent twenty years investigating why zebras have black and white stripes and even wrote a book, Zebra Stripes, about his very great discovery. Now, Caro has solved the age-old mystery of why giant pandas also have the double color. According to the researcher, understanding why the giant panda has such striking coloration has been a long-standing problem in biology that has been difficult to solve because virtually no other mammal has this appearance, making comparisons difficult.展开更多
