There are two kinds of pandas – the giant panda and the red panda, also called the lesser panda. The giant panda, with its distinctive black and white markings, is the more familiar of the two. Giant pandas and red pandas belong to their own separate animal family, the Ailuropodidea. Their closest living relativities are the bears. Most Giant pandas start life at the surprisingly small weight of 4 ounces (104 grams), about the size of a stick of butter. This tiny infant grows into an adult weighing between 180 and 270 pounds (80 and 120 kilograms). Adult giant pandas have coarse black and white fur, small black ears, and large black eye patches that give them their unique appeal.
