1 Panda Bear’s Life Cycle
By: Kaylen Beaty

2 Panda’s at Birth Baby panda bear’s are born pink out of there mother’s body. They weigh 3 to 5 ounces and are 7 inches long when they are born. They cry loudly after birth.

3 Panda’s Childhood Cubs soon develop soft gray fur which becomes coarser and develops its black and white pattern in a month. Cubs rely on mother’s milk for the first year, but start to eat bamboo after six months. Cubs easily die in the wild because they are so small and defenseless. The mother has to leave them alone in the den to eat for four hours a day.

4 Maturing Panda’s Giant pandas are fully mature and able to breed at six years old. The rate of reproduction is about one cub every two years, with gestation taking 3-5 months.

5 Panda’s Early Adulthood
The young adults will wander their territory for the next two to three years until they are mature. They use this time to search out the best feeding and resting areas. The females will usually stay within the same territory as their mother, while the males will typically wander further afield.

6 Panda’s Adulthood Adult males are tolerant of the young and have never been observed killing a cub to force the female to come into estrus as some bear species, such as the polar bear, have been known to do. Scientists have not been able to accurately estimate how long the wild panda lives, but captive pandas have lived for as long as 38 years, with the average lifespan being twenty years.
