Awwww!

I'm curious, though, how long people can handle a panda without it trying to eat them? Are pandas wild like other bears or are they tame and you can play with them?
Pandas only eat bamboo so they won't eat you, but they are wild creatures and will probably try to kill you when they get big enough and if you get too close. :ohwell:

Panda-Cam
^Not very exciting because the cam is in their indoor habitat - someone is in there cleaning it right now.
It's a nasty job, but somebody's got to do it. :lol: I actually went there to the San Diego zoo and the pandas are just as exciting in person. :yawn:

That's OK

Elderly happiness not IQ related



Researchers from Edinburgh University looked at 550 Scottish volunteers born in 1921 who had their IQs tested when they were 11 and again at 80 years old.

They found no relation between their level of satisfaction with life and IQ, either in childhood or old age.

More intelligent people get better life opportunities but also have higher expectations, the report said. The researchers, led by Professor Ian Deary from the University of Edinburgh, wrote in the British Medical Journal that higher ability could increase a person's resources through entry to better employment.

Pandas are part of the Raccoon family.....they are not a bear. :ohwell: They can be dangerous

Physical description
The giant panda, a black-and-white bear, has a body typical of bears. It has black fur on ears, eye patches, muzzle, legs, and shoulders. The rest of the animal's coat is white. Although scientists do not know why these unusual bears are black and white, some speculate that the bold coloring provides effective camouflage into their shade-dappled snowy and rocky surroundings. The panda's thick, wooly coat keeps it warm in the cool forests of its habitat. Giant pandas have large molar teeth and strong jaw muscles for crushing tough bamboo. Many people find these chunky, lumbering animals to be cute, but giant pandas can be as dangerous as any other bear.

If you read the different sites, they do call them bears, but like K_Jo pointed out, they are in their own group, related to bears and raccoons.
