Giant panda cubs are very small, generally only100g, the smallest is only over 50g, and the largest is only over 200m. Such a small weight is only about one thousandth of mom's. It is the biggest difference in weight between mother and baby in the animal kingdom.
The adult panda weighs 80- 120kg, and the heaviest panda can reach 180kg. Its body color is black and white, its cheeks are round, it has big dark circles, its iconic walking posture has eight characters inside, and it has claws as sharp as scalpels. The skin of the giant panda is thick, and the thickest part can reach10 mm. The black-and-white appearance is conducive to hiding in dense forests and trees covered with snow, and it is not easy to be found by natural enemies.
Extended data
According to the current fossil evidence, the ancestors of pandas were omnivores like other bears 7 million years ago, but about 4.2 million years ago, a gene in pandas-t1r1was mutated, which directly led to the failure of the umami taste of meat amino acids. After this mutation, the panda feels terrible when eating meat, and it has no taste at all!
Since then, they mainly eat plants. In this process, because of some climate changes, the giant panda lost in the competition with some exotic omnivores, and its habitat continued to shrink. Finally, they have to eat bamboo, which is rarely eaten by other animals and is rich in fiber and difficult to digest.
