Thanks this was interesting. Especially the part about that they used to be considered part of the raccoon family. When I lived in Hamburg, Germany we went to Berlin one weekend for a soccer tournament.
One of the days we went to the zoo there and saw a panda. It was some famous panda I can't remember his/her name. I also saw something weird at the zoo that day. This man in a suit was picking his nose and eating it.
Lol, I think panda are so cute!
What is it about them that you like most?
