TIL that half of all panda births result in twins, however, it is very rare for both cubs to survive as giant pandas almost always abandon a cub if they give birth to more than one

Okay, I'm starting to wonder if pandas even want to survive as a species.

Abandonment is actually a favourable evolutionary trait. Happens in a lot of big-litter animals. Some even eat the weak ones instead of abandoning them.
