#How To Argue With Someone Who Says'Pandas Deserve To Die'Why argue with someone like that?
Pandas deserve to live as much as humans do. Animals were here first. Our job is protect them
I feel sorry for the person stating that panda's should be allowed to die. Not because I think he is wrong
if Panda's should be allowed to live on with human assistance -but if in essence that nature stops here
Panda's Reasons for dying: 1. Pandas used to hunt small rodents 8 million years ago then they decided that was started bad
and eating only bamboo which is far less nutritious (they also stopped running and now only can walk
and these species have grown never as major types of bamboo. 3. Pandas are black and white in a green forest. 4. Female Pandas ovulate once per year
but they aren't the real reasons we should let the Panda go. Note: I'm not saying we should kill the pandas just that they should be left to be on their own.
IF they go extinct so be it. If they survive awesome. Statement: Pandas have a really ridiculous diet.
Can you believe they only eat non-nutritious bamboo? Paraphrased Response: It's ok to eat something poor
There's also tons of food for the panda to eat! My Response: Sure it's ok to include something poor in your diet.
The panda is still capable of eating fish eggs and a number of other foods but it can not get them in the quantities needed to survive.)
Also the panda doesn't eat any old bamboo. It is notoriously picky. It does have a relatively wide range of actual species it can eat
This means that a panda must live in an area of 2 or more bamboo species or its food will disappear
The pandas current diet has trapped fundamentally the panda. This has proven disastrous for countless species
This would allow the panda to be more energetic travel further and to different environments allowing the species to thrive.
But the panda is a bear! Bears aren't even evolved to eat bamboo! Paraphrased Response:
What you're really saying is it's bad for animals to eat something different than
The issue wasn't necessarily that the panda eats something different it's what specifically it has chosen
Pandas are so lazy! They just sleep all the time. Why should we care about a sleepy lazy bear?
Paraphrased Response: I'm just going to joke around cause some animals are lazier than others.
Consider the various cats. They love to lie around and sleep. Once they get up and move though they are extremely active and fast.
Meanwhile the panda isn't just a bit lazy. Its entire metabolism is vastly lower than normal due to its poor diet.
The pandas are further unable to adapt to any changes because it just isn't capable of really moving to a superior location.
This is somehow the panda's fault! Paraphrased Response: It happens. Some species have lower birthrates than others.
I do not believe this is an issue for the panda by itself in the wild.
Too many pandas too soon would mean a huge population crash as they fight for food.
but it is not one of the reasons the panda should be left to die out on its own.
Pandas don't even like to have sex! They're like bad at it and we have to show them panda porn and stuff.
Paraphrased Response: This is a problem in captivity! Some species including humans just don't do well there.
We're spending so much money on these dumb bears! We should be spending it elsewhere!
Also the panda helps bring awareness and bring in money! My Response: It's true that
if we stopped funding the pandas that money wouldn't necessarily go to a different species
As you yourself mentioned pandas cost a zoo more money than they take in. Apparently they aren't a good enough attraction considering their cost.
A panda costs on average 5 times more than an elephant. Imagine what a zoo could do just
if it didn't have to pay for the panda. Just because you lose a sort of spokesperson animal doesn't mean everyone will completely stop coming ignore all conservation efforts and stop giving out money.
and even the panda itself could continue to be a just cause. It would be a lot easier to argue for earlier intervention
if the panda went extinct. Consider how powerful this would be: We had the ability to save the panda
if only we had tried a bit sooner before it was too late! There are dozens of species that are going in the same direction as the Giant panda
but they haven't fallen off the cliff yet. If we act now we could stop yet another species going the way of the dodo.
No one argues that the pandas habitat isn't hurting really bad. The question is is enough still around?
As mentioned previously the panda currently has limited a very habitat it can not survive outside of it
and the panda won't survive. Conclusion: Its habitat is damaged severely and limited. If the panda doesn't adapt to new habitats in the area
and allow it to spread it's in a dead end. There's no chance for it to truly continue.
Pandas are just a figurehead; they get way too much money just because they're cute.
If the Panda is the reason for that national park what happens to the park when the panda is gone?
Or what happens if it begins to thrive outside of there? Conclusion: We need to work harder to find more fundamental reasons to save various forests and parks around the world.
Let the pandas die out instead of living these lonely lives in captivity. Let all the dwindling species die out.
) Are pandas good for anything? Are they eatable? as Marvin replied I didn't know that a single mom can make $4482 in a few weeks on the internet. did you read this web page...
But the pandas are nice. Wow this is the first time I've ever heard anyone talk about the need to let a particular species die out.
This is a stupid article the claims made against Pandas look like a 4 year old would said them.
Plus no one says Pandas deserve to die (stupidest claim ever?.I agree with all of what zechio said.
The problem with the whole Panda thing is that WAY too much money goes into saving them with poor results.
Pandas do get a lot of money but they're still highly endangered and have a very clear risk of going extinct in the near future despite all that money.
It's not like pandas are funded over and roaming the streets of American suburbspandas are funded too over
If Pandas were butt-ugly no one would care about them that's the truth. People only care about cute animals
I'm not saying Pandas deserve to die no animal deserves to die. But the Panda is not the only endangered animal
but most people act like it is. Millions of dollars goes into Panda breeding programs were most of that money could go into protecting their habitats.
After all if the Pandas's habitat is destroyed completely all that effort in breeding programs would be for nothing.
That's was what Chris Packham is talking about. He's being realistic all that money could go into saving their habitats instead of pouring it into pointless breeding programs.
This is a stupid article the claims made against Pandas look like a 4 year old would said them.
Plus no one says Pandas deserve to die (stupidest claim ever?.Surprise Surprise the ignorant people who make ignorant claims that an animal deserves to go extinct make ignorant arguments.
Many many people say pandas deserve to die for the most ignorant of reasons. If you were engaged in Giant panda Conservation
or any type of controversial animal conservation you'd know about this. I agree with all of
The problem with the whole Panda thing is that WAY too much money goes into saving them with poor results.
Because like Nosowitz said it's apparently the panda's fault that we don't know how they mate naturally in the wild
Panda cubs would die alot in captivity. We soon found out that switching cubs from human care to mother care raises the success chances to 95-99%.
Pandas are funded too over so stop acting like they aren't . And they only get all the money
If Pandas were butt-ugly no one would care about them that's the truth. People only care about cute animals
and breed animals especially one like the Giant panda? Many people thought bees were ugly and useless.
Elephants are considered ugly by many people yet many are against killing them for their tusks.
And even if we did cut off all or some funding from Giant pandas what makes you think that money is going to automatically go to saving the salamander?

Nobody is insisting the Giant panda is the only animal that is endangered. Pandas are iconic but they're not stopping anyone for donating time and money to save other animals.
This black and white (heh) thinking is ridiculous. So you didn't read the article nor do you have any idea as to
Miles upon miles of panda habitat is already set aside for them (and even more is being planned).
The issue is that the areas are fragmented so it's hard for pandas to travel from one area to another to mate.
Hundreds of pandas are being bred so that we have a fallback plan just in case something happens to the wild panda population.
The 2008 earthquake is a good example of this as it risked killing off multiple pandas by destroying bamboo forests denning sites killing the pandas directly etc.
And it DID kill off multiple pandas (including captive ones) but gladly yet it didn't dent the wild population too hard.
The article ALREADY explained what Packham's position was on pandas and you're misquoting it.
How are you and other people expecting us to buy the habitat WITHOUT ensuring that we can get a stable population going in the first place anyways?
If we buy the habitat will more pandas suddenly appear out of nowhere? What the f**k I wish god strike him dead!
And even if we did cut off all or some funding from Giant pandas what makes you think that money is going to automatically go to saving the salamander?
I have heard never of anyone calling sharks and elephants.**plus I have heard never of anyone calling sharks
and elephants ugly stupid typos@Smokeymcrib My mistake then also you may not have heard of sharks/elephants being called ugly but
Simply google searching Elephants are ugly/why are elephants so ugly? brings up some not so nice results etc.
The Panda's appeal helps it earn money but that money also goes to other animals in their habitat.
The issue is that the ugly animals do not have as much public outcry for their plights like the giant panda.
#What Sound Does A Fox Really Make? A music video from a Norwegian duo called Ylvis is primed to as the kids marketers say go viral
Bà ¥rd Ylvisã Â¥ker and Vegard Ylvisã Â¥ker the folks behind Ylvis describe the vocalizations of various common animals from cats to dogs to ducks to cows
and then in the pre-chorus wonder what sound the fox makes. The chorus then suggests a few possibilities like Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding and Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow.
and also watch lots of videos of foxes while we do it. So! In Norway where Ylvis is from there are two species of fox:
the arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) and the red fox (Vulpes vulpes. Here in the States we have a few others like the gray fox and the kit fox.
All species of fox have a pretty wide variety of vocalizations just as dogs and cats Do it's simple to reduce say a dog's vocalizations to bark
but as any owner knows dogs can yelp whine howl growl and make all kinds of other sounds.
Foxes aren't quite as varied in their vocalizations as dogs but they're still capable of making lots of different sounds.
The red fox which is the most common species of fox worldwide (and almost certainly the fox variety Ylvis is talking about;
there are only about 120 arctic foxes left in Norway) is highly vocal. Foxes are canids like dogs
and wolves but are not closely related to either; in fact they hunt more like cats with a low-to-the-ground stalking posture
and bite hard with sharp thin teeth to kill prey (dogs and wolves tend to have duller larger teeth and use a clamp and shake method to kill).
In vocalizations too foxes aren't entirely like dogs. The most commonly heard red fox vocalizations are a quick series of barks and a scream-y variation on a howl.
All fox vocalizations are pitched higher than dog vocalizations partly because foxes are much smaller. The barks are a sort of ow-wow-wow-wow but very high-pitched almost yippy.
It's commonly mistaken for an owl hooting. That bark sequence is thought to be an identification system;
studies indicate that foxes can tell each other apart by this call. The scream-y howl is heard most often during the breeding season in the springtime.
It is...horrible. A shrill hoarse scream of anguish it sounds more than anything like a human baby undergoing some kind of physical torture.
It's thought that this call is used by vixens (female foxes) to lure male foxes to them for mating though males have been found to make this sound occasionally as well.
The bark and scream and very loud so they're often heard but most other fox vocalizations are quiet
and used for communication between individuals in close proximity. The most unusual is called gekkering; it's a guttural chattering with occasional yelps and howls like an ack-ack-ack-ackawoooo-ack-ack-ack.
Gekkering is heard amongst adults in aggressive encounters (of which there are many; red foxes are highly territorial) and also amongst young kits playing
(or play-fighting). There's also the alarm call which up close sounds like a cough but from afar sounds like a sharp bark and is used mostly by fox parents to alert youngsters to danger.
Red foxes unlike other familiar canids like the gray wolf and coyote do not form packs. When kits are young they
and the mother may form a small family unit but in general foxes are solitary. Still they sometimes inhabit the same territory
and so have a social hierarchy which requires communication. Submissive foxes when greeting dominant foxes will sometimes emit piercing whines
which can elevate in volume and become shrieks. Foxes communicate with kits largely with body gestures
but also make huffing and coughing noises and sometimes brief clucks like a casual short form of gekkering.
That's what sound the fox makes! But equally interesting is why most people don't know what sound the fox makes.
It's a widespread enormously successful and adaptive species living worldwide in all sorts of climates in forests on mountains in suburbs and sometimes even cities.
Americans and Europeans are very familiar with the red fox. And unlike say a raccoon it's a highly vocal animal.
So how come we have no idea what it sounds like? One major reason is that it's a wild animal.
The children's toys that teach the sounds of animals focus on domestic animals mostly livestock. Pig cow sheep rooster duck horse--these are farm animals
which in America's collective agrarian past were members of the household. You'll notice that on this toy you won't see any of the most common North american wild animals--no raccoons no coyotes no deer no robins no hawks and no foxes.
What sound does the deer make? Hell if I know. Another reason might be that fox noises are mistaken easily for other animals.
The common yow-wow-wow-wow sounds more like an owl than a canid and the scream-howl sounds less like a fox than the soundtrack to a nightmare.
And foxes are nocturnal hunters which means we're asleep when they're making most of their noises.
Then there's the other problem. Foxes are common and cute they feature in myths and we have gone to extreme lengths to make them our pets
but the noises they make are sort of...awful. The red fox does not have a mellifluous voice;
even when it's happy it mostly sounds like it's being strangled. It would be awkward to teach your young child that the cow goes moo the frog goes croak
and the fox goes YAAGGAGHHGHHHHHHAHHHH!!!But! Now you know. The fox goes yow-wow-wow ack-ack-ackawoo-ack and YAAGGAGHHGHHHHHHAHHHH!!!

The question of female orgasm is as usual more hotly contested though all female mammals have clitorises. Scientists can infer that animals--mostly primates--orgasm through recording physiological
Studies of primate orgasm have focused often on macaques a subset of monkeys which are used often in research
According to Alfonso Troisi a clinical psychiatrist in Rome who has studied female orgasm in Japanese macaques they're easier to study in the lab than gorillas or chimps.
Macaques species tend to have longer copulations than other primate species like gorillas which is a bonus
In the lab by artificial stimulation it is possible to trigger female orgasm in virtually any primate species. In a 1998 study he
and his co-author wrote that Under specific circumstances nonhuman primate females may experience orgasm. But the rate at which the females orgasmed was variable
Their study found that the level of dominance of the male macaque might play a role for instance.
me via email In the lab by artificial stimulation it is possible to trigger female orgasm in virtually any primate species. At the Institute for Primate Studies in Norman Okla. psychologist William Lemmon
and his grad student Mel Allen argued that the female chimpanzee manifests most if not all of the indices of sexual arousal and orgasm that occur in women.
Allen manually stimulated the clitorises and vaginas of female chimps in the course of writing his master's thesis at the University of Oklahoma Sexual response and orgasm in the female chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes.
Stanford university anthropologist Suzanne Chevalier-Skolnikoff in 1974 writing on homosexual encounters between female stumptail macaques:
So when it comes to primates orgasms definitely seem to occur. What about the rest of the animal kingdom?
Morisaka did catch the first spontaneous ejaculation ever recorded in a dolphin which he published (with a mildly NSFW video) in a hyper-readable study in PLOS ONE Spontaneous ejaculation has thus far been recorded in drowsy rats guinea pigs domestic cats warthogs horses and chimpanzees according to the study.
As fun as this kind of research is to read about watching animals get down in the hopes of detailing their climaxes in a scholarly manner appears to have gone out of style.
The 1970s and 1980s were the golden years for primate research and animal ethology according to Troisi who left primate research a decade ago.
Nowadays there is little money around (even in the US) field researchers get no funds and scientists working in the lab face the opposition of animal rights activists.
University of Toronto researcher Frances Burton's 1970 work which involved hooking monkeys up in a dog-harness contraption
and stimulating them with essentially a silicon monkey dildo for instance might be tough to get approved these days.
And though it's likely that most nonhuman primates have the ability to orgasm we can't really know for sure

Hey@Popsci is the#mysteryanimal a baboon? And then I might say if you think that's a baboon perhaps you are the baboon!
But probably not because this is a positive environment and all guesses are welcome and also this is not a very common animal so guess whatever you want!
Your dumb kids who thought that was a baboon! Update: And the winner is...@Tarabethidaho who correctly guessed that this creature is a cuscus!
Cuscuses are marsupials native to the far northeastern corner of Australia as well as New guinea and a few other islands stretching as far as Sulawesi.
Cuscus is applied the word to a few species of possum in this area as opposed to the more common possums native to the rest of Australasia like the brushtail possum.
This one in particular is spotted a common cuscus which is found throughout that small cuscus range.
Other cuscuses like the Sulawesi bear cuscus are limited to particular islands. It's about the size of a big housecat and lives in the dense foliage of trees from rainforests to hardwood forests to eucalyptus forests.
It has an opposable thumb and a prehensile tail making it a very good climber
but it moves pretty slowly so it's often confused for a sloth or a loris.
Hi cuscus! I will name is'Adorable 'and love it and hug it and take very good care of it!
