Staggeringly boring animals, and a lot less cute than people think. They look innocent eating bamboo shoots but are quite able and willing to maul a human being to death, as well as being liable to eat their own young.
They are also sexually neurotic and extremely delicate psychologically and physically. These two newcomers are going to cost the NHS, believe me.
Leave the dreary things in their shrinking habitat and turn their enclosure over to Tasmanian devils and fruit bats. At least they have something to say and look you in they eye (or poo in it if you stand under their tree).

Fried Panda with noodles...

Yes, Pandas have lucky faces. Shame about the zillions of other interesting life forms that we seem to be intent on destroying in the quest for a few more gallons of palm oil (and I'm probably to blame as much as anyone else). They don't seem to have the cutie factor.
It's lucky we've been unable so far to reach the dark depths of the oceans. In fact I'd say many of the undiscovered life forms down there will probably have a better chance of living out the next few million years than we ever will.

Cost the zoo £600,000 a year to lease a panda apparently and you have to supply your own bamboo. I bet that Ling woman who HJ never got on with could have got them a better deal.

yes I like devils, you know where you are with them, they sound evil, they look evil and they live up to it in every way.

Looked at the title and had to go back to 'Motoring' to confirm there was a Fiat thread and that I hadn't misread this one's title earlier in the day!!!

The Tasmanian devil is now the largest surviving carnivourous Marsupial.
There used to be a larger creature called a thylacine or Tasmanian tiger that became extinct in the 1930s. The last one died in a zoo in Tasmania. Here's a film - quite sad really.

Let me know the emissions and I'll see if I can work it out.
