Apparently the mother pandas also have a tendency to roll on their young and squash them  :(

I never knew that Millie, is that because the strongest will have the best chance of survival?

Something like that - as they grow the mum really only has the resources to care for one so the other twin or triplet will be left to die :'( - but there's no biological reason for it, there's nothing actually *wrong* with the other baby so it makes good sense with captive animals to intervene and increase the survival rate.
Spaying and neutering saves lives.
Nobody has a right to own a cat. It's a privilege.

 :Luv:
I watched a great programme on a panda rescue. Pandas have 2 or 3 young but only feed 1 so what the rescue does is rotate the babies around and handfeed them inbetween, the mum nevers notices  :evillaugh:
