Was Qizai not artificially bred? Was he abandoned by his parents in the jungles of Foping County in Qinling during his childhood?On the evening of November 1, 2009, the "Shaanxi Rare Wildlife Rescue and Research Center" discovered a light brown cub in the deep mountains of the Qinling Mountains, in the San Guan Temple Gate Gully area of the Foping National Nature Reserve.
