To not care a jot about the panda?

Just been to visit them at the zoo. As I expected it's asleep. Sleeps 16 hours a day. The male one's ill so can't be on show. So we spend 10 minutes in a room with a video of it actually moving whilst it sleeps in a corner.

Maybe there's a reason it's only in season for 2 days a year? God's trying to tell us something surely? Wink

One horned Rhinos on the other hand are the dog's bollocks. And if you hear one fart you're in for a treat. Fantastic!

[grin]@farting rhino

am meh about the pandas I have not been to see them yet and the non event of a pregnancy got on my nerves such a waste of time I do think the Pandas are telling humans something give it up

MortifiedAnyFuckerAdams · 29/10/2013 21:58

Maybe it shouldnt be locked up in a zoo all its life. Pretty sure.id get depressed and bored and sleep most of the day away if I were locked up like that too.

mrsjay · 29/10/2013 21:59

they sleep so long because they cant digest the bamboo they do that in the wild too

FreakinScaryCaaw · 29/10/2013 22:01

Am not sure they'd exist still if it weren't for humans meddling? They're solitary animals.

Saw one of the San Diego ones years ago. All excited, dashed to the panda bit 1st thing in the morning. One panda was out, fast asleep, up a tree. Wow/Awww etc. Returned last thing before we went home, about 9 hours later. It was still in the tree. I swear it was a stuffed one from the gift shop, the real ones were backstage, listening to techno and doing Es.

FreakinScaryCaaw · 29/10/2013 22:02

Oh and no they shouldn't be in zoos at all. No fun for anyone or them tbh.

yes, but, they just sooo darn cute

mrsjay · 29/10/2013 22:03

I am not sure why they are still breeding and lending them to zoos tbh

RhondaJean · 29/10/2013 22:07

I'm coming back as a panda.

You get to lie around and eat your body weight every day, and NOONE hates a panda. Everyone loves a panda.

Well except freaking Sad

mrsjay · 29/10/2013 22:09

but could you stomach the sticks all you would have to eat is sticks Grin I do like a baby panda though they are adorable

RhondaJean · 29/10/2013 22:11

But pandas like sticks, it's their equivalent of eating milk tray all day every day.

I will be a happy panda.

Have you seen the sneezing panda baby?

TheCrackFoxFucker · 29/10/2013 22:12

I live in Edinburgh and I can't be added going to see the pandas. Meh.

susiedaisy · 29/10/2013 22:13

I have to say I'm a bit meh about the fuss surrounding pandas!

mrsjay · 29/10/2013 22:13

bu they are bears they should be scoffing fish or deer or something not sticks Grin

AgentProvocateur · 29/10/2013 22:13

Yeah, but the koalas are cute.

Itsjustafleshwound · 29/10/2013 22:14

Koala bear for me - better weather, sleep all day and getting a kick off all the eucalyptus leaves ...

sassytheFIRST · 29/10/2013 22:14

Sneezing baby panda vair cute.

mrsjay · 29/10/2013 22:14

NOW kolas Grin bet they smell like vicks vapor rub

FreakinScaryCaaw · 29/10/2013 22:15

Hates??? Where did I say hate? I don't hate pandas for the love of God!!!

They're just meh that's all.

Little weeny monkey babies are so bloody cute though. I want one of those as long as it stays weeny and I had a room for it away from my dog who'd eat it. Not good.

{grin} sneezing panda baby it is very cute ok Pandas are cute sleepy and pointles but cute

MrsOakenshield · 29/10/2013 22:16

wasn't it Chris Packham who said we should give up trying to save giant pandas? Can't remember what his reasoning was.

Zoos are vile places, why on earth do people go? To expect caged animals to entertain them?

RhondaJean · 29/10/2013 22:16

Koalas are a bit too active.

And bugger that chasing a fish up a river crap.

Now, sticks, they stay put so they do, and you can just roll around and hug them and eat and nap when you feel like it.

Tell me that doesn't sound like bliss!

mrsjay · 29/10/2013 22:16

oh no monkey pets they go for you they are really wild and not good pets

Kleinzeit · 29/10/2013 22:16

I miss the red pandas. Now they really were cute!

RhondaJean · 29/10/2013 22:17

No no no one hates a panda!
