Exclusive wallpaper for WWF members

As March marks the start of the breeding season for giant pandas, this month we’re celebrating these iconic black-and-white bears.  

It’s a time of new beginnings and new life for many species, and giant pandas are no exception.  

Although they’re generally solitary animals, known for roaming the temperate forests high in the mountains of south-western China, over these next few months, a female panda may mate with several males who have competed over her. Around five months later, she will find a safe, warm and dry cave, tree cavity, or artificial den to give birth and shelter her blind, pink and hairless cub. 

The new mum will keep her cub close to her nearly all of the time during the first month. The newborn, dependent on her for warmth, will rest on her front, their tiny body protected by her paw, arm, or head. The family will remain safe in the den, until the cub is big enough to be hidden amongst thicket when mum goes to forage for bamboo.
