A female giant panda was giving birth to twins. Captive giant pandas give birth to twins in about half of pregnancies. If twins are born, usually only one survives in the wild. The mother will select the stronger of the cubs, and abandon the weaker one. The mother is thought to be unable to produce enough milk for two cubs since she does not store fat. However, panda nannies would help panda mothers to take care of their cubs if the female lack ability of raise. #giantpandas | My Panda Tours

Native to the temperate mountain forests of the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China, they’re built for snow with thick fur and bushy tails that act like blankets. In fact, East Tennessee’s winters are surprisingly similar to the climate of their native range.
