Newborn pandas are tiny, being only around a thousandths of the size of the mother panda. This makes it difficult to detect the delivery of babies, and there are very few clearly recorded images of pandas giving birth. The delivery season is usually in August every year. When the mother panda stops eating bamboo, it is said to be a sign that she is about to go into labor, but this is not always the case, and witnessing the delivery of a baby is a very rare opportunity. It was the long recording time that allowed the filming of the event from the time before delivery.
1.8 hours before delivery
With pandas, it’s difficult to determine the exact date when their babies are due, but after many years of observing them, it is now possible to tell on the day when they are about to give birth.
Pandas go into labor for a long time.
During this time, the mother panda sleeps, sits, or turns on the spot, and this behavior continues until the moment she starts giving birth to the baby.
