   Very cute, exacly the kind of video that makes some stupid people want to go up and stick their arm in and pet the next one they see at the zoo.

   There should be a disclaimer/warning. Do not think that what you see in the video means every Panda bear is going to be so playfull, especially the adults. Otherwise you might lose a leg or arm.

   Based on recent events, some people apparently need a warning about Pandas, or any other “cute” animal in the wild or in the zoo.

   It’s too bad that guy at the Beijing zoo got his leg chewed to pieces when he fell into that Panda named Gu Gu’s pen to retrive a ball this last week. (Shouldn’t be throwing balls and toys around in a zoo anyway, geesh). That’s the third person that bear has attacked. It’s safe to say that particular Panda is dangerous and is not afraid to attack humans now, so they really need to increase security around it’s pen.

   One woman last year at a Europe or Australia zoo or somewhere stuck her arm in to pet a Polar bear I think it was. The thing almost ate her arm off. Later she said, ” I never would have imagined a Polar bear would have been so aggressive. They look so cute and cuddly” (or something to that effect) Anyway, that’s just plain ignorance. It’s a polar bear for crying out loud! A wild animal. Those are some of the most vicious bears alive aside from maybe a grizzly bear.

   Guess she’d been watching too many of those coca cola polar bear comercials.

   That’s the problem unfortunately today, with media and movie potrayals of cartoon animals and such, alot of people today are very naive about nature and wild animals. Even in the zoos they still retain their wild instincts. And when the animals are cubs like those in the video, people don’t realize that those animals grow out of that playfullness and their animal insticts develop.

   Yes the Pandas are very cute to look at and alot of animals are playfull and innocent looking, but people need to become more educated and use common sense that those are still wild animals. Not cuddly teddy bears like the ones you buy at the store and sleep with.
