pandas. This is only partly true. While the Chinese probably never adopted them as pets because they leave awful black and white stains on the couch, they are remarkably useless otherwise as well. Most of the time, sitting on their lazy asses, their low desire to procreate is baffling. Certainly considering they are at risk of extinction. Pandas can't even be relied on for their own survival. I will let that sink in. Pandas can't be seen in the wild anymore. The closest they get is a breeding reserve in Chengdu. Considering the gastronomic delights the city has to offer, in which Sichuan pepper gives dishes their distinct flavour, it is a shame to see pandas limit themselves to bamboo.
