Pandas are the most adorable animals in the world. Their body typically looks like black and white bear. It has black fur on its ears, eye patches, muzzle, legs, and shoulders. The rest of the animal’s coat is white. A normal adult panda weighs up approximately [ihc-hide-content ihc_mb_type=”show” ihc_mb_who=”2,3,5″ ihc_mb_template=”1″ ] 113 kg with 2 to 3 feet of height. Can you imagine the size of a baby panda? The baby panda is only about 1/900th the size of its mother with average weight 100g pound. The baby panda is smaller than a mouse. Panda babies are the smallest newborn mammals relative to their mother’s size. Newborn pandas are pink in colour, furless, and blind. The iconic black and white coloring come later, roughly about 3 weeks. Cubs are very vulnerable at birth. The limbs of newborn pandas are so weak that they are not able to stand at all. It takes considerable effort on the mother’s part to raise it. For two months after birth, baby pandas rely on the mother’s warmth, milk, and protection. Cubs do not open their eyes until they are six to eight weeks of age and are immobile until three months. A cub may nurse for up to nine months before it can eat bamboo by itself. A cub is nutritionally weaned at one year, but not socially weaned for up to two years. Infant mortality is lower in the wild than in captivity, estimated at around 40 per cent. [/ihc-hide-content]
