00:00 But why do pandas have black spots?
00:02 The black and white fur of the mammal is simply a camouflage outfit.
00:07 The white on his back allows him to move in snowy areas without being noticed,
00:12 and the black helps him to hide in the shaded areas of the forest.
00:16 Which was very useful to him at the beginning to hunt and approach his prey,
00:20 because our animal was first a carnivore.
00:23 And then probably because his body and his slowness were a handicap,
00:27 he switched to a vegetarian food, bamboo.
00:30 His fur also avoids being bothered by some mammals,
00:34 like tigers, its black ears sending a signal of danger to other animals.
00:39 As for the spots around the eyes, they would be different from one panda to another
00:43 and would simply allow them to recognize each other.
