Panda panda

Fact #4

on June 19, 2007

Why *are* they black and white?

Nobody really knows.

It's true they do love playing in the snow, and to me it would make sense to be white and black to blend in there. But another theory for their coloration is it actually helps them stand out in the green forests, and find each other.

Pandas also, despite being bears, do not hibernate during the winter. In fact they don't hibernate at all.
