I was surprised to read that despite their beauty, Pandas are generally unpleasant creatures to be around -- They would just as soon scratch your face off than look at you...

and I imagine giant pandas don't like being in jail any more than we do.
Still, BaoBao is cute as hell and I like the way they're giving offspring Chinese names.
I just don't want her as a pet, thanks.
