"It is time to let the Panda go"

Interesting viewpoint and I think quite valid as "survival of the fittest" applies here and the panda is, quite frankly, too stupidill adapted to survive. It would be entirely different if all it took was to conserve or expand his habitat.

I'd be interested to hear what my naturalist/conservationist friends think about this.

Funny you should say that, the panda used to be a carnivore (it still has canines) and then for some unknown reason decided to switch to one of the most difficult to digest and metabolise plants ever.

I know :)

Yet another reason the stupid creature is doomed; I mean why not at least stay as an omnivore?!
