August is the peak month for pandas to give birth to their cubs. Do you know how does a panda cub's fur color change?

 

When a giant panda is born, its pink skin is covered with white fur. At one to two weeks of age, its shoulders, limbs and ears gradually turn black. At one month of age, its body grows black and white fur.
