A single cub is born five months after mating in a nest constructed of bamboo. A Panda rarely gives birth to twins, if she does, the second cub is unlikely to survive. The tiny newborn Panda cub is blind. It is six inches long and weighs only three ounces. It stays with its mother for 18 months, until it is independent enough to establish its own territory.
Pandas are solitary animals.
They spend two-thirds of their day feeding and the remainder of the day resting. They are extremely good climbers. They usually climb only when they are in danger from predators such as brown bears, leopards, and wild dogs. Pandas live in cold, damp conditions. They have exceptionally dense, water proof coats that give protection against these conditions.
