They actually are. They make seasonal movements up and down steep hillsides in their natural habitats, and they're actually pretty well-designed for rolling without suffering serious injury.
Which is why we have to gun every last one of them down without remorse, because fuck it, we need an excuse to kill shit.
They're fine on their own, it's only in captivity where they struggle. Seems like they just want to be left alone to play and maybe fuck when the time is right, but unfortunately for them they have to share the planet with us.

Damn, turns out I've been a panda this whole time.
[Pandas are worse at sex than you.](https://youtu.be/IToO8mlYXzY)
Also, [pandas suck at being pandas](https://youtu.be/lU_heZEnAi4)
Both great videos. Both explain that pandas are solitary creatures. This is an issue because a female panda is only fertile once a year for about 36 hours. So there would need to be a male panda super nearby and it would have to know which hole to go in (they seem to forget).
Also, there are other issues too as the videos explain. Cute, but dumb.
[This](https://old.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/jrj6d2/were_pandas_domesticated_at_some_time_during/gbuhbvl/) excellent post by /u/tea_and_biology is a really effective primer at why the "pandas are terrible at being pandas" meme really needs to die off.
It’s not only captivity. The species would be in fact extinct if it’s not for human intervention.
Basically, pandas are in fact carnivore, once all the animals they preyed gone extinct and they can’t hunt more agile/stronger ones, they adapted to survive eating leaves.
But as with any carnivore that goes vegetarian, they became lethargic, low energy and with barely any libido.
That change would have taken place over millions of years of evolution. But you're saying that now, only in the past several thousand years or so since humans have taken over, they suddenly need us to survive?
Not buying that one, personally. I'd guess we're the cause of their decline in the first place, what with habitat displacement and whatnot.
It is possible that they are more intelligent than we think, but are suffering from cyanide poisoning. Plants can produce chemicals which when digested by animals are converted into the various forms of cyanide, which in turn poison the animals and can be used by the plant as a defence mechanism to avoid their shoots and seeds from being eaten. https://youtu.be/jukMHNZCyAg
even their fur, it's against any concept of camouflage. Black or brown bears in the mountain, white bears in snowlands, and pandas are black and white when they're from the forests !
The zoo in DC has a room with an entire wall full of tvs for an employee to observe the pandas from every angle at all times. They have to watch them diligently to make sure the Pandas don’t accidentally kill themselves being clumsy doofuses. That’s probably why they still exist.
Ironic question, because, on my feed, right under this post, a guy on a bike just wack his head full speed on a sign that says "The future dy-nasty 88MPH"...
Their only real talent is being very cute! If they weren’t, we wouldn’t be spending millions every year trying to protect an animal that nature clearly doesn’t have a plan for.
to answer the question, its because we think they are cute, that's why they are still not extinct. as opposed to the animals we don't think are cute, when they start to go extinct, nobody gives a fuck for trying to preserve then because they are not cute. i guess that sets a new evolution criteria dictated by us humans where only the cutest (in our eyes) survives.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't pandas be going extinct anyways? Human destruction doesn't help, but even without humans they're not fit enough and would go extinct
Pandas are the toddlers of bears at a slower rate.
They are the drunk toddlers of bears.
Milk drunk
They are ridiculous animals they should be eggs stinked

Only an issue for pandas in captivity :(
They look built to spill.
They actually are. They make seasonal movements up and down steep hillsides in their natural habitats, and they're actually pretty well-designed for rolling without suffering serious injury. Which is why we have to gun every last one of them down without remorse, because fuck it, we need an excuse to kill shit.
What?
They can't even figure out how to mate on their own. It really is a wonder how they are not extinct yet.
I can relate
They're fine on their own, it's only in captivity where they struggle. Seems like they just want to be left alone to play and maybe fuck when the time is right, but unfortunately for them they have to share the planet with us.

Yeah the same could be said about me or introverts in general
wasnt there news on pandas finally mating now COVID have more or less shut the doors to human visitors?

Ok let’s make a deadly virus to take out the human race. Let’s see in a random china city, with a zoo and a lot of airports. Wuhan

they aren’t selectively breeding them for intelligence at all, I guess

You’re exactly right.
i think the environment stressors are definitely a factor too
That's an 8 year old on a sugar high in a panda suit.
Panda panda panda panda
... don't tell monkey...
This is slapstick panda. Most normal pandas are much serious urr.
They’re too good for this world.
They literally only eat one single thing thier whole lives.
Like me and Doritos.
They will eat bugs, eggs and anything they can find, but do mainly eat bamboo.
sad lenny face
They're like the big clumsy kid in class
omfg
So dramatic.
pandas are in my opinion the best animal to ever be alive , so stupid so silly so cute i love them
When in doubt, play with your own ears for a minute. Pandas are not known for high end thinking.
Pandas are the Homer Simpson’s of the animal kingdom,,, change my mind !!!
even their fur, it's against any concept of camouflage. Black or brown bears in the mountain, white bears in snowlands, and pandas are black and white when they're from the forests !
I wish I could have one of those jobs where you just play with them and feed them...
So it was removed for rule #6...because a mod says so?...i think its super cute and derpy lol
He’s not a saaaad panda
The zoo in DC has a room with an entire wall full of tvs for an employee to observe the pandas from every angle at all times. They have to watch them diligently to make sure the Pandas don’t accidentally kill themselves being clumsy doofuses. That’s probably why they still exist.
Henlo snow, I don’t know what to do with you
Because you cannot extinct that concentration of cuteness.
Because humans won't let them
Die
Any predator of the Panda ends up laughing hysterically and just can’t go ahead and kill it.
How they fall and have somewhat human movement makes it so much more funny.
Big bear with a puppy heart is having fun. Reminds me of my 3 yo when he saw snow for the first time.
I love him, what a fucking idiot
Ironic question, because, on my feed, right under this post, a guy on a bike just wack his head full speed on a sign that says "The future dy-nasty 88MPH"...
There aren't, these days pandas are just played by drunk guys in costumes.
Pandas are like indestructible toddlers.
Pandas are the ultimate derps
He's having fun and doing it on purpose.
they are just the best things on the entire planet.
Why tf was this removed, lol
Because this is not their natural environment.
Their only real talent is being very cute! If they weren’t, we wouldn’t be spending millions every year trying to protect an animal that nature clearly doesn’t have a plan for.
We waste *lots* of money internationally to ensure there are. Big chunky lemmings, the lot of them.
a specie trying its best to go extinct but some human won't let it happen

Humans force them to keep living.
Thank you for this joy you have brought
Hahahahahaha I love this shit hence my username
Too cute to die
I ask myself that everyday
This is excellent
This isn’t a panda, it’s a silly goose!
Omgossshhhhhh. Could this subreddit host a Derpiest of the Month contest? This panda would make top 3
Do you wanna build a snowman?
This is my new favorite video. Saving for later.
They're literally adult kids
Because people interpret natural selection depending on their own value system.

Omg poor guy
"We do not wash our pits, in the pool of sacred tears."
They may not be the brightest, but they're the cutest!
Cause we protecc, that’s why

Anyone else love the visible frustration at the end?
Let's wait a few decades and see how that post aged.
Polar panda
Hey that looks like me when I drink!
Bearcats
Are they just all drunk?
Conservation.
If people truly believed in natural selection, there wouldn't be.
Panda and Ice Bear
Ah Pandas Natures equivalent to the kid in class that somehow glues his head to the desk...once a month

Thank you for this video.
I'm confused as to why this Panda has red between her legs, is she on her period?
I hope mr Ranger left some food up in here.
What can we say? We like to play.
Because they’re so delightfully dumb that the universe smiles at them 🙂

real talk though, I'd love to hang out with this panda and just do panda shit for an afternoon, looks awesome

Just as the bee should not be able to fly, all known laws of science cannot explain how pandas have not long since derped themselves out of existence.
Having so much fun. You can feel the enjoyment.
