- A giant panda is a large, fuzzy, black and white mammal. Pandas belong to the same family as bears, but are very rare.
- A female panda gives birth to one or two tiny white cubs at a time. They are born in caves or holes in trees. They look more like mice than pandas, and at first they are helpless so their mother cradles them to keep them safe.
