A new study carried out by physicist Andrew Schulz in collaboration with other universities has revealed that the chubby and short-legged bear climbs while pressing its head on the tree trunk. Pandas use their head as an extra paw to help them climb on the tree and repeat this behavior again and again. This sort of behavior can only be seen in newborn kangaroos, which use their heads to help themselves up into their mother’s pouch for the first time. The valuable findings will help the researchers to evaluate the chances of survival of young pandas in the wild.
