Life+Span+of+Pandas

==  Life span of pandas ===   Pandas are very interesting animals. Scientists think pandas live 18-20 years in the wild and 30-35 years in captivity. Baby pandas are as large as a stick of butter. After one week the baby panda starts to develop their distinct colors of black and white. At five to seven weeks the panda opens its eyes and starts to crawl. Five month later it can walk with its mother. It starts to eat bamboo. At 8-9 month old it will only eat bamboo. For about and year and a half the cub will depend on his/her mother. Four years later the panda can mate and have more cubs. The life span of pandas is very productive. Bibliography    ===
