Great, something we can export to China for a change.

/you know they're going to want their cub back

Red Pandas are better.

I'm guessing it's going to be pandemonium...

PANDA WATCH!

Too bad it has to live in that shiathole of a zoo.

Pandas are highly overrated. Even the reptile exhibit at the zoo is more exciting.

Hope he makes it back to Frisco by next season.

I never understood the appeal of pandas, though I have never seen one in person. They just seem so lazy and uninteresting.

Maybe because I live where the "good" bears, Grizzly and black, roam.

I went to this zoo about 7 years ago, and the Panda exhibit was basically a glass box with a bunch of signs that said "no touching glass, be quiet". The box was surrounded by screaming children all pounding on the glass while their parents absentmindedly stood off to the side. It was ear-splittingly loud.

A. It was a pathetic statement on both parenting and ATL Zoo's continual commitment to running a crappy zoo.
B. No wonder those poor things never get pregnant. You try getting it on with 100 children screaming at you.

Get back to me only if it sneezes.

From what I recall, new panda cubs are one of the more spectacularly uninteresting mammalian offspring around.

when they do it you're never there
when they show it you stop and stare
PANDACAM

Let me tell you something my friend. I come from a little town in Ohio, Waterville. Maybe you've heard of it. Back in '91, a traveling circus came to town, with a panda as one of their main attractions. Sure, it was all cute and could do tricks, but unfortunately, as with all pandas, he had an unquenchable taste for corndogs. A young circus attendee got a little too close with his corndog, and the panda lunged towards him. He panicked, ran backwards, and frightened Jumbo the elephant, who, in a panic, thundered out of the big tent and into the parking lot where he stepped on, and killed, my puppy, Dwayne.
Since that day, no panda has been a friend of mine.

Whaddaya, whaddaya? Atlanta has a great zoo. Best gorilla exhibit ANYWHERE, and the rest of it's not bad. Better than Berlin, anyway, where they have a lot of the animals locked in tiny cages, and obviously going nuts.

Not impressed.

What button do you hit to toggle the electric floor?

Wake up you lazy little panda!! I want to see some cute play action ASAP!

/From the insistent gratification generation

his battles will be legendary!

looks like the farking thing is just giving itself head.

Adorable?

TangoSucka: looks like the farking thing is just giving itself head.

I clicked in expecting cute panda action and instead I see this. I think it's asleep and nodding off, or at least I hope.

I'm cuter

stupid pandas. There's a reason you're dying off.

KatjaMouse: TangoSucka: stupid pandas. There's a reason you're dying off.

Deforestation? Poaching? Development? New predators? You do realize that until recently they had almost no natural predators to evolve to defend themselves from, right? And that humans really didn't like living in bamboo forests?

Yeah. It was a joke bro. Calm down and go back to your liberal rally.

Agreed

You'd be surprised... or not... at how many Farkers genuinely think that animals like Pandas or Koalas should just be left to die off. Not even in a troll sense either, so forgive the serious answer.

Not. I'm a /b/tard who grew up, got a real job and a girlfriend.

i found the commentator's opening line, "She is not a slot machine anymore" especially poetic.

Ah Panda's. They cost the Zoo 1 Million a year (you rent them from China) and all babies have to be sent back to China.

Rapmaster2000: You try getting it on with 100 children screaming at you.

That's pretty much the only way I CAN get off.

/Banned from every playground in a 30 mile radius.

I hate giant pandas. They are a huge waste of money and basically political tools for the Chinese government. When China "gives" you a panda, you have to pay them a million dollars a year. And the cute little babies they have? They are property of the PRC, so you have to pay for them too. The money is supposed to go to protecting pandas, but you know it's just lining the pockets of the government.

/panda conspiracy.

I finally got a chance to visit the San Diego Zoo recently, something I've wanted to do for ages. The Panda exhibit was only visible by entering a single path with a single line. That line was longer than half the lines at Disneyland combined. Our comment was basically "fark that" and we skipped it completely.

TangoSucka: /panda conspiracy.

Hence my slogan: "Black and white = it's not right!"

Pandas are weird because the myth that they only live in China, but they are really in other places on Earth as well. It only looks like the pandas are in China because we are used to the black and white pandas, which is only because they eat bamboo which grows in China. But pandas in other countries live fine, they just can't eat the bamboo that gives them the cute black/white pattern, instead they eat other plants such as eucalyptus which makes them boring grey or in Africa they eat kasava which makes them brown. But people are convinced by China that only China pandas are the real ones.

Too funny, Yang Yang thinks he's the father - that Lun is such a whore.

NYRBill: I'm cuter

Where we are the same latitude and mountainous like their home range, here in Knoxville the red pandas at our Zoo multiply like rabbits.

And yes the baby ones ARE cute.

You can watch it from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm EST on the Pandacam.

On the off hours the panda is outsourced to cosmetics firms. The testing pays for the daytime bandwidth.

Came for the PANDA WATCH, leaving satisfied.
