Giant Pandas: Life Cycle

When giant pandas are born, they are pink and little bigger than a stick of butter. After a while, they begin to have gray fur which then turns black and white. The babies start eating bamboo after 6 months. When a female bear is 6, it can have cubs. Their lifespan is about 30 years. They might get killed by humans and other predators like leopards and jackals. (https://thecoolgiantpanda.weebly.com/life-cycle.html)
