Panda Facts That Will Ruin You

Each fact comes with an appropriate level of emotional reaction. You're welcome.

1
A newborn panda is about the size of a stick of butter.
A STICK OF BUTTER. Their mothers are 900 times heavier. Imagine if human babies were the size of a cashew.
2
Pandas poop up to 40 times a day.
That's not a bug, it's a feature. Bamboo is hard to digest and they're doing their BEST. Don't judge them.
3
Pandas don't hibernate. They just walk to lower elevations in winter.
While you're complaining about the cold from your couch, pandas are HIKING. In the SNOW. In a FUR COAT they grew themselves.
4
Pandas have been on Earth for roughly 2-3 million years.
They were here before us. We are guests in THEIR world. Act accordingly.
5
A panda's bite force is strong enough to chew through steel pipe.
They choose bamboo. They CHOOSE peace. We don't deserve them.
6
China loans pandas to other countries for up to $1 million per year each.
Your country is literally paying a million dollars a year just to LOOK at one. That's how good pandas are.
7
Red pandas and giant pandas are not closely related at all.
They independently evolved to eat bamboo and be adorable. That's called CONVERGENT EXCELLENCE.
8
Pandas can swim and even climb trees up to 13,000 feet.
They're basically fluffy Navy SEALs who chose the path of peace.
9
The WWF (World Wildlife Fund) has used the panda as its logo since 1961.
Because when you need to represent ALL of wildlife conservation, you pick the GOAT. The panda.
10
Giant pandas have a pseudo-thumb -- an extended wrist bone.
They literally evolved a SIXTH FINGER just to hold bamboo better. Evolution said "I got you fam."
11
Pandas spend 10-16 hours a day eating bamboo.
They eat up to 38 kg (84 lbs) per day. That's commitment. That's a lifestyle. Be more like a panda.
12
There are only about 1,864 giant pandas left in the wild.
That's fewer than the number of Starbucks in Manhattan. MANHATTAN.
"If you ever feel useless, remember that someone is out there selling non-panda merchandise."
