A baby panda is called a cub. Born pink, blind, and the size of a stick of butter — one of the most extreme birth-to-adult size ratios of any mammal.
Born pink and hairless — looks nothing like a panda!
Weighs only 3-5 oz — 1/900th of mother's weight
One of the smallest baby-to-mother ratios of ANY mammal
Black and white fur appears at about 1 month
Mother holds cub 24/7 for the first month — never puts it down
Cubs can't walk until 3-4 months old
Panda milk is 7x more nutritious than cow's milk
Only ~1,800 pandas left in the wild — cubs are precious
