it seems that everyone loves the poster child of exotic and endangered animals - the Pandas. but why?

u never hear anyone calling a Panda ugly, that they hated it and wished they would go extinct. but it's always Panda's are cute and adorable and let's save the Pandas! so why do peeps feel this way about them? is it their colors and patterns? their babies? their derpiness? their endangered status and vulnerability? the fact that all they do is eat bamboo and yet they're big tubs of jello covered in fur?

so many peeps love the Panda's that other species are named after them and they're equally coveted. The Panda Ball Python, for example. i also heard a Panda Retic is still in the works.

So panda's coem in many shapes and forms. Why do u like Panda's? Or do u not like Panda's? Oh please tell.
