1. PANDAS HAVE EXCELLENT CAMOUFLAGE FOR THEIR HABITAT​

The giant panda's distinct black-and-white markings have two functions: camouflage and communication. Most of the panda - its face, neck, belly, rump - is white to help it hide in snowy habitats. The arms and legs are black, helping it to hide in shade.

2. THEIR EYES ARE DIFFERENT TO NORMAL BEARS​

Like domestic cats, giant panda bears have vertical slits for pupils.

3. CUBS ARE WELL PROTECTED IN THEIR FIRST MONTH​

Mother pandas keep contact with their cub nearly 100% of the time during their first month - with the cub resting on her front and remaining covered by her paw, arm or head.

4. PANDAS CAN SWIM AND EVEN CLIMB TREES​

Giant pandas are good swimmers and excellent tree climbers. At 5 months old, giant panda cubs learn how to climb - sometimes practising by climbing on their mum.

5. A HELPING HAND​

They have an extended wrist bone that they use like a thumb to help them grip food.
