Animals are amazing, humans are amazingly short sighted and poorly equipped to deal with nature (minus our superior brains)

[@dadadunlol6079]

@@calebspain4828 Funny how you're saying we're short sighted as if the rest of the animals are thinking about the future more.

[@calebspain4828]

@@dadadunlol6079 if you could understand what I said there would be no need for your response; there is no other species that is destroying the planet earth. No other species has ever caused mass extinctions yet alone multiple mass extinctions. Equally no other species has a brain capacity even remotely close to ours. For all our fantastic achievements they come at the expense of the planet the majority of the time; either through mineral exploitation, destruction of habits and ecosystems that are beneficial to all species and the health of the planet (over fishing, deforestation, the removal of species that are critical in healthy food chains, pollution etc). So when we invent these great technologies we seldomly foresee the detrimental impacts they will cause. When we (humans) know we have made a disastrous decision we often ignore the solution which would inevitably come at our immediate expense. This is why I would believe we are short sighted.

[@dadadunlol6079]

@@calebspain4828 I find it funny how humans are the ones who say things like 'destroying the planet' etc. Like humans have the right to decide what is good and what is wrong for the planet. Humans are the ones putting labels on things, the way they like it. Let me clarify I do not intend to say we aren't killing off species, destroying habitats etc. But who are we to say what's right and what's wrong. Again again, don't get me wrong I am also part of the group of people who think more species habitats etc equals better. But it just made me wonder, who are we to say what's right for the planet. The planet itself creates vulcanos that destroy everything. Create ice ages etc. Who are we to say what is the right thing. No one, so don't be so arrogant please.

[@yuli2042]

that panda is actually a paid actor in a panda suit

[@mahms012]

I am pretty sure the Mother Panda trusted the keeper and after much reluctance, she finally decided to give the cub. You could even see the mother panda stopped looking at the baby and even moved her head away as the baby cried out, because she knew it would be hard to be separated. But the element of trust as the narrator mentions is there.

Evy Darling they already do this in ethology, all mammals have simmilar brain structure and caebel of feeling all the emotions you do. Ain and fear are emotions every animal can feel because fear from predators etc.. is a verry important thing in Evolution

[@leybrabear]

@@ottonormalverbraucher7835 "Fear from predators is a very important thing in Evolution." A very profound statement. And must be why the human animal has ceased to evolve since in today's civilization whenever a predator-'type' animal (e.g. the skittish coyote) is so much as seen near human habitat, the Township pays to have it killed for their 'comfort.'

[@baganzabaganza2826]

Nicola king it’s not cruel, actually in the wild they would chose a slightly damp empty cave in the mountain, small space gives them sense of safety, and they don’t need any bed nor do they try to make one out of branches. For this panda, keepers need to clear all the things in this small room to make sure they can see the cub from the cctv once it was born, since sometimes, mother panda would kill one cub out of 2 and there are chances the cub is not in good condition so the intervention must be taken ASAP.

In japan a panda raised twins without swapping or anything like that. I wonder what causes a panda to abandon one or accept both.

[@jinnimoo]

I believe this was an rare exception for Meimei, who had several cubs and 2 sets of twins during her time in Japan. She was often mentioned in media as a 'great mother' due to her being able to nurse both cubs at the same time. I think part of it comes from having prior cubs and motherhood experience. In the wild Panda will abandon one out of natural instincts as they know they won't have enough nutrients to keep both alive.

[@sheilaghbrosky]

It is not unusual for a panda to have twins in the wild. However, the mom can't look after 2 cubs in the wild. It must be a development to preserve the species as the panda has a short esterus once a year.In captivity, twins are frequently born due to invetro fertilization. The twins are swapped out every 4 hrs so that each cub gets mother's milk and the antibodies. This is usually done for at least 2 months I believe. Then both cubs are given to mum to nurse. A few years ago, triplets were born in China and all survived.
