    Why Do People Like Pandas?

    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.
    RIP Mamba

    People like pandas because they have big heads and what appear to be big eyes. Attributes of a human baby. It is hardwired in people to think these attributes are cute. You can put a big head on anything and someone will say it is cute. It's why cartoon characters have big heads.

    I don't particularly like or dislike pandas. I don't really think they're cute.

    I don't particularly find them cute either - I think they should be protected, like all endangered species, but cute...not really.
    No cage is too large - nature is the best template - a snoot can't be booped too much

    Interesting. I find pandas cute, including the fake pandas- the red panda. But, I find human babies quite scary.

    I like them because until 1869 Westerners thought they were a myth like dragons.

    I think you'd be surprised to find beneath that fur and fat is quite a bit of muscle. Enough to enable such heavy animals to be excellent climbers. With that being said, pandas are extremely cute.
