  • It's great that KK & JJ can get their groove on...but even in a perfect environment, it has always amazed me how animals like Pandas and Koalas have managed to survive as long as they have - they really don't seem to adapt very well.

    Pandas were once thought to be related to Raccoons - if that were the case...they could pretty much adapt to anything...heck, last night a pack of young Raccoons stole my neighbors car and went joy riding - (to their credit, they brought it back without a scratch...but with no gas - so they still have some evolving to do...)

      Apparently what we call a panda isn't really a panda at all, but a giant panda. and NOW, they say that the panda(aka GIANT panda) is not related to pandas(like the red panda)!

      Go figure! But you can see how things can get confusing.

      I think they are by most. If only all of our views of china could be so nice. Some of the building, people, culture, and the pandas are nice. But some other things. 8-(
