And leaves and flowers are sisters
Grandpa Tan said so
On January 24, in the latest video released by the WeChat public account of Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base, the breeder "Grandpa Tan" revealed that after expert identification, the giant panda "He Ye" is a female, and "He Hua" and "He Ye" are sisters.
In this regard, Grandpa Tan explained: The gender of the panda is a bit complicated. When He Ye was just born, his gender characteristics were biased towards his younger brother, and now as he grows older, his male salient characteristics are not obvious, and then we asked experts to collect biological samples and find out that he is indeed his younger sister.

Some netizens also asked soul questions:
Flowey can't be an older brother, right?
In fact, He Ye's father "Meilan" was also mistaken for a female bear, and giant pandas Pu Pu and Fa Fa also had a gender reversal.
Why do giant pandas have gender oolongs?
Among the many large mammals, the giant panda is the most difficult to distinguish between male and female. Because rare animal species generally do not use sex chromosome identification methods, they usually identify sex based on secondary sex characteristics or differences in the morphology of exposed male and female reproductive organs, which is very accurate. The exception is the giant panda, whose cubs have a hard-to-distinguish morphology from their exposed genitalia. If you are not a proficient or experienced researcher, it is indeed difficult to distinguish between male and female.
