During the same time, a panda named Lele at the Beijing Zoo had twins. No one knows how many pandas might have been born in the wild. The Smallest of All Baby pandas are amazingly small. A panda mother must carry her baby around very gently and take care of it until it is big enough to move around on its own. Pandas are known for being very careful and protective mothers.
Newborn pandas cry for milk about every two hours.
Between feedings, a panda mother will rarely put her baby down. When sitting, the mother holds the tiny creature in her paw. When she is on the move, she carries the baby gently in her mouth. Panda cubs can walk on their own when they are about three months old. Because she cannot care for two cubs, she chose to nurture one and abandon the other.
