- A newborn panda is born pink, covered with short white hairs.
- It weighs 3 to 5 ounces and is about 7 inches long, including a long tail.
- After a month, the cub resembles a miniature adult with a longer tail.
- It will grow to 10 times its birth weight in 5 to 6 weeks.
Three to Four months
The cub can stand and walk a few steps after about 75 to 80 days. Teeth begin to erupt. It suckles two to three times a day. At four months old, the cub is active, running and climbing up on its mother's back to play.
Five months to One year
At five months, the cub mimics her mother while she eats bamboo and climbs trees. At six months, it has 26 to 28 teeth and begins to eat solids. It may continue to suckle at eight or nine months old.
By age one, it may weigh 50 to 60 pounds, and permanent teeth will start to erupt.
