Fun facts about the panda bear
Unlike other bears, they have slits in their eyes, a peculiar characteristic of these animals.
To mark a territory and leave their scent impregnated somewhere, they usually stand on all fours.
They do not always have that characteristic black and white color, as puppies they are pink.
They tend to be very solitary beings in their adult stage.
The black and white color is perfect so that they can be camouflaged in their environment.
The cubs tend to climb trees from the age of 5 months.
The weight that a panda bear can reach is 150 kg and newborns 130 grams.
The best time for a panda to mate is in the spring.
If a mother panda does have twins, she usually feeds the one she thinks is the strongest and leaves the other on its own.
They are very eaters, since they spend at least 10 hours a day feeding.
Although the vast majority are vegetarians, these beings do tend to eat small animals.
They are good tree climbers and swimmers.
Pandas usually relieve themselves about 40 times a day, this is reasonable considering that they spend 10 hours eating per day.
The notion of time is not the same for a panda as it is for a human, since for pandas 1 year is equivalent to 3 human years.
They have 6 fingers on one hand, although it is actually a bone from their wrist but it helps them to better grasp food.
Now every time you see a panda bear at the zoo you will be able to admire even more the greatness of these beautiful animals. What information did you already know? What would you add to the list?
