#1 One of those confuse memories from random things watched in a daze long ago on teevee is an instance of a zookeeper telling the reporter/presentator of the show about how a would-be photographer once entered the habitat of the pandas... only to have the male rush him, and bite his genitalia off.
Don't let this happen to you!

#3 Actually, I think that biologically they're more like raccoons than bears. Still don't want to mess with anything that big and furry if it has teeth.

#4 You caught one Frank. ... library researcher Johnny Miller met the onslaught of editors and stood his ground. ``Pandas ARE BEARS!''

#5 IIRC, the lesser panda is the one kinda sorta related to the racoon. Corrections welcome.

#6 it was a flip comment, IIRC - thay carry their newborn like a marsupial, in a pouch....still...."keep yourself away with poking sticks" should be a lesson?
