PANDA
The Panda is often considered a joke of a bear. Pandas are bad at sex and picky about food. These genetic misfits might have died out long ago, had they not been so adorable.
Without our help, so the narrative goes, pandas surely would have joined the dinosaurs and the dodo on evolution’s scrap heap.
Or would they? The image of the pathetic panda—a benign, bungling creature who needs human help to survive—is a very modern myth, conjured more from human desires than from biological facts.
The panda is, in fact, a splendid survivor.
It has been around for some 18 million years and is perfectly adapted to its admittedly eccentric lifestyle.
The real panda is a secret stud, with a taste for flesh and a fearsome bite, at least in its natural habitat. But that habitat is withering thanks to human encroachment.
Once a wide swath of southeast China and bordering nations, panda country is now a patchy strip, mostly through the forests of just two mountain ranges.
No matter how many adorable videos you‘ve seen of pandas, don’t approach a giant panda in the wild.
They have strong grips and can deliver powerful bites that are strong enough to harm a human leg. They can tear your leg apart if they really want.
Now, why would anyone want to hug a Panda?
