I can't get the video to play, so I am pandaless, and sad.

HMOG the Panda link broke me.
omg panda kindergarten!
Nutty, you were namedropped a bit this weekend. Although now I don't remember why.
panda panda panda!
sent that to a bunch of people
I love that the reason for the panda kindergarten is, essentially, that pandas have crap social skills and need to learn some. I just have this image of an adult panda dressed in a leisure suit, going up to a hot lady panda at a panda bar, and hitting on her awkwardly and getting whacked in the face with a paw for his effort.
Holy GOD the baby pandas are so cute I CANNOT stand it.
The one attached to the human's leg? so cute.

This is actually one of the big questions I have about panda breeding programs in general -- one of the major reasons pandas are endangered is because they have little to no interest in mating. I would be totally sad if they became extinct and all, but shouldn't we be concentrating our efforts onto species that WANT to survive?

No! They're cute!
Why are pandas uninterested in mating? Is this a new thing? If so, is it our fault in any way? If it's not, why are they now in danger? Is that our fault?
And then there's the cute thing.
