Panda 101 ∣ Falling Giant Pandas

Bet you've seen videos of giant pandas tumbling or falling from trees and felt worried, right?

Don't worry!

Giant pandas are cushioned by their thick, 10-cm-long fur and a layer of fat, which absorbs the impact when they hit the ground. On top of that, their bones are incredibly dense. In most cases, they come out of a fall without a scratch.
