Are Pandas Too Loud?

While discussing sneezing baby pandas with some coworkers, someone said that baby pandas will often make loud noises and scare their parents away forever. I found that hard to believe and decided to do a little research. I couldn't find anything to support his claim but did find some information that could have led to his mis-belief.

According to the San Diego Zoo, young pandas do make croaking and squealing sounds. Mature pandas, however, will make bleating sounds similar to a goat.

Also, in the wild, pandas often have twins but usually only take care of one of the young. The other is left to fend for itself.

Are you saying you wouldn't want to look after that?

If you have any more info on the subject, let me know.
