A Mother Panda and Cub Beside a Stream

Along the sandy bank of a calm woodland stream, a mother panda sits with her growing cub in a sheltered forest setting. The soft sand near the water provides a comfortable place to rest after exploring the surrounding trees. Fresh water flowing nearby creates an inviting environment for panda families living in mountain valleys.

How Giant Panda Mothers Raise Their Cubs

A newborn panda cub is tiny, hairless, and pink, weighing only about four ounces at birth, which is roughly one eight-hundredth of its mother's weight. The mother panda holds her tiny infant constantly for the first few weeks to keep it warm and protected. Cubs stay with their mothers for up to two years until they learn how to forage independently.

  • Stream bank sand: Warm beige, light tan, or pale gray
