Can you imagine, a newborn panda cub weighs only 100 grams. And the average weight of the mother is around 100 kg. Feel the difference? The mother is 1000 times larger than her baby. No exaggeration. Where else do you see this in nature? Maybe some marsupials have a similar situation. Have bears just gotten lazy lately?
And there is some truth in laziness. Pandas have no natural enemies. They peacefully live in their relic bamboo thickets, eating or just chilling all day long. Well, if nothing threatens the cub, it makes sense to reduce the burden on the mother's body. Pandas have decided to give birth to premature babies. But it's easy and painless for the mom to give birth to the little one. In terms of development, a panda cub corresponds to a 7-month-old human fetus in the mother's womb.
But the little one will gain a hefty 20 kg in the first six months of life and will continue to be under the care for a long time.

They have it all figured out, don't they? Would you like to live like pandas too?
