No one will doubt the cuteness of a panda. Therefore, it is not surprising that countries are vying to gain knowledge and honor to breed these endangered animals outside their habitat or exitu.
To date, 16 countries have received permission from the Chinese government to study panda conservation. Indonesia became the last country to have two giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) named Cai Tao (male) and Hu Chun (female).
Regarding the pandas' priesthood, Smithsonian.com writer Abigail Tucker said neuroscientists suspect that human interest in pandas lies in the anatomy of the large mammal body.
Her pink cheeks and unique walking style due to her short legs can stimulate the human brain circuitry. Particularly, the part of the brain that works when there is interaction with the baby.
Babies have eyes that seem bigger than adult humans. It also happens to pandas. With a circular black mark, the panda's eyes appear to be ten times bigger. In fact, the "face mask" serves to drive out predators.
Pandas are also the only animals that have a pseudo-thumb. The flexible wrist bone allows the bamboo eater to manipulate the object. He is also able to stand on the back foot and likes to play in the snow so it looks more funny.
However, the distribution of pandas to various parts of the world is not merely about conservation. Research conducted by scientists from the University of Oxford at the Environmental Practice mentions that there is a political diplomacy role of the Chinese Ambassador to the destination country.
