    I've just noticed something: sometimes when Sandy is audibly laughing, there's no motion to indicate it! You can just barely see her throat twitching as it articulates the laugh. See 0:43. I had to view that a few times to figure out the picture hadn't frozen.

    A dental hygienist was volunteering at Zoo Atlanta right after they got pandas. She had worked with the vets cleaning teeth on tigers and other animals while they were sedated for other medical treatment. The Chinese were fascinated so she was the first to clean panda teeth and she wrote up instructions to be translated.

    One of many things I learned as a security guard at the Museum of Sex in NYC is stuff about pandas. For example, most pandas in captivity are so utterly clueless about what it is to BE a panda that they can sometimes be shown pandas having sex in videos, panda porn, in order to give them some idea of what it is like so that they can have a chance at breeding.

    Actually, "panda" is correct, assuming you're talking about the CORRECT type of panda. That, of course, being the RED panda (or "lesser panda"), which is the original panda. Red pandas are endangered mammals and they subsist almost entirely on bamboo (a fact which was likely part of the reason giant pandas were named after red pandas).
