    Pandas fell into a very weird evolutionary trap. They should all already be extinct by now, but they barely keep making it. Tons of fast growing bamboo all year round, no predators, and a little evolved fake thumb that let's them hold a piece of bamboo. They just stay within like 50 feet of their "beds", eat like 80 pounds of bamboo a day, and go to sleep.

      They're only struggling because we're completely destroying their habitat. They'd be fine if they actually had a place to live.
