The most peculiar thing about giant panda breeding is that its newborn is quite immature at birth, weighing only 0. 1% of its mother's weight. Newborns are very light, with an average birth weight of about145g, which is about one thousandth of the adult giant panda's weight, ranging from 5 1 g to 225g.

For female giant pandas, it is a very arduous task to take care of their children, which usually lasts 18 months, sometimes even as long as two years, until her next child is born.
