Giant pandas are born very small, as small as a butter, making them the smallest newborn mammals. They are born blind and rely solely on their mother for care. Studies in 2014 found there were 1,864 giant pandas remaining in the wild. Researchers track pandas by identifying each panda's unique bamboo bite marks. Pandas spend half their time eating bamboo and the other half sleeping. Zoos must pay up to $1 million per pair of pandas rented from China for 10-15 years.
