panda cub

Young black-white bear

A panda cub is a baby giant panda, born pink, hairless, and weighing only a few ounces despite its mother's size.

Cubs develop their distinctive black-and-white markings within weeks.

The term appears frequently in wildlife conservation contexts, where panda births are celebrated events: The zoo announced the panda cub's first public appearance.
