Why Are Pandas Black and White?

The video explores the reasons behind the black and white coloring of pandas. Scientists have proposed various hypotheses, including camouflage and predator warning. A study compared the color patterns of pandas with other mammals, revealing that their coloring helps them adapt to both snowy and shady environments. The dark facial features may serve as a warning to predators and help pandas recognize each other. While the exact reasons for their coloring remain uncertain, pandas are well-adapted to their environment, and their unique appearance contributes to their survival and our fascination with them.
