As it grows, the tail is reabsorbed into the spinal column.
That is why is almost disappears!
This baby's tail is already shorter than at birth.

I did not know that, thanks Moka! I watched Xi Lan from birth - well for a day or two and then he got sick and they kept him off cam for quite awhile and I missed this part of the growth period.

Nature is strange, weird and wonderful.
When a panda cub is born, its tail is almost as long as its legs.

Watch, wonder and marvel!
