Too Cute Tuesday: panda mother

Too Cute Tuesday

I wonder if they’d mind me cuddling in there with them? Probably, since panda moms are extremely protective of their delicate babies. “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.” Black patches on their newborn pink skin will start to form about a month after birth. Read more panda facts here.
