Giant pandas, often referred to simply as pandas, are black and white bears, live in the wild and found in dense forests and in the highest mountains, and these wonderful mammals are carnivores, but while the pandas sometimes eat small animals and fish, the forests represent 99 Percent of their diet.

Panda animal life cycle

The panda is a large animal that eats meat, and every day it fills its stomach for up to 12 hours, the scientific name for the giant panda is Ailuropoda melanoleuca, the giant panda grows to between 1.2 meters and 1.5 meters in length, and weighs between 75 kg and 135 kg, and scientists are not sure The duration of the panda remains in the wild, but it is possible for the panda to live about 30 years.

The little panda is born in pink and is about 15 cm long at birth. When the panda is born, they are blind and open their eyes only after a period of six to eight weeks after birth.

These gorgeous mammals are believed to be solitary animals, with males and females only briefly reuniting with them to mate, yet recent research suggests that giant pandas sometimes meet outside the breeding season and communicate with each other.

Where the pandas are

Giant pandas were widespread throughout southern and eastern China as well as their neighbor Myanmar and northern Vietnam, but due to human population expansion and development species are restricted to isolated forests in six mountain ranges in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces of China.

Most wild pandas live in the Minshan and Chenling Mountains, and there the WWF focused on its mammoth panda conservation work and support efforts to conserve this species.

Since habitat loss is the most serious threat to pandas, creating new reserves and expanding existing reserves are essential to their survival, and China now has a network of 67 pandas that protect more than 66% of giant pandas in the wild and about 54% of their current environment.

How the shape of the panda changes from the shape of birth

The unusual difference in the size of pandas at birth and when they grow has left researchers confused for years, and pandas usually have a very low percentage of the mother’s weight, as the weight of newborns is about 150 grams which is very small relative to the mother’s weight, and after a month of birth The panda weighs 2 kg, then reaches 6 kg after two months. According to the existing records, the smallest newborn cub of the panda weighed only 51 g, and the largest weight at birth was 247 g.

After about one week of birth, black fur begins to grow on the ears, spots of the eyes and shoulders, and black hair appears on the legs after several days, and the hair on the ears becomes more visible, while the black eye spots extend to become round.

Half a month after birth, the black fur becomes thicker and the chest fur also turns black, and the eye spots continue to zoom in just like the shape of an adult panda, and in this period they have black fur on the neck and paws, then the black fur extends to the entire neck and chest.

The new white fur begins to grow, and their eyes open partially 45 days after birth, and on the 50th day of birth the midline on the chest and abdomen fur turns brown and a group of black fur appears on the tip of the tail.

Panda benefits in forests

We must do our best to save the giant pandas because we can, as pandas play an important role in forests by spreading seeds and helping plants to grow, so by protecting the pandas we will also provide much more than that as we will help not only protect these unique forests, but Also protect the wealth of the species that inhabit it such as dwarf blue sheep and beautiful multicolored agricultural.

By protecting the pandas, the lifeline of a group of other endangered animals including the golden monkey that shares these wonderful forests with the pandas is secured, and the pandas’ habitats are also important for the livelihoods of communities that use them for food, income, and fuel for cooking, heating, medicine, and for people around The country.
