I love how pandas CAN eat meat, but are too lazy to go to the effort of hunting something (will probably pick at carcass something else killed/died of old age/etc.) They WILL mate, but ridiculously rarely and the female’s cycles are really short. It’s likely they’d just laze themselves to death without human intervention, but because they’re so damn cute people bend over backward for them. I’ve no clue what the average zoo or panda refuge pays to operate each day (the keepers at the Toronto zoo said they had bamboo flown in from the southern US every month for instance). Meanwhile, the West African Black rhino was declared extinct in 2011, and other subspecies aren’t doing so well. Sucks for you rhino, I guess you have to be cuter. Or not have a magic horn that’s used for male enhancement powder or whatever. People suck.
