Why do pandas only take care of one of their young?

Answer 1

Pandas can have two babies at a time, but only one will survive because the mother panda spends about 12 hours a day feeding, and one panda alone is too much work.

Answer 2

Because they know that they must protect future generations. They are cleverer than you think

Answer 3

there are only 2 day every 2 years that they can mate

Answer 4

they aren't able to take care of that many cubs

Answer 5

Yes, typically the mother gives birth to one cub. On very rare occasions there may be two, but that is very uncommon.

Answer 6

The female usually has two cubs at a time but can rarely produce enough milk for more than a single cub. She will choose the strongest of the two and the other is left to die.

Answer 7

Female pandas can usually produce enough milk to feed only one cub. If more than one is born, the weaker of the animals will not receive nutrition from the mother and will die.
