- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Pandas are endangered because of loss of their habitat due to human activity. Not because they're bad at surviving. They've survived for hundreds of thousands of years without us. We're the ones killing them, and there's nothing cute about that situation.
They are bad at surviving too, they are a borderline Apex predator that decided to only eat plants oh wait only eat one type of plants that is harder to digest than meat making them constantly lethargic, also they need excruciatingly specific breeding conditions.
In other words. They are able to afford excryciatingly specific breeding conditions while also living off a resource other animals failed to utilize.
If I balance my only child on top of the Eiffel Tower you might consider that impressive but I doubt you would consider it a good survival strategy.
It's not about what's good, it's about what works. It'll keep working till it doesn't.
Even in their own habitat pandas aren't fucking. They're too stupid to fuck. Sure, we as humans can take responsibility for our roles. We did destroy their environment, but what good is having an environment when they won't fuck?
They clearly lived in an environment where they were reproducing. We changed that environment and most likely can't reproduce it.
Believe it or not species have went extinct without any involvement of humans, they evolved right during the ice age, that bit of climate change had nothing to do with us, and none of that makes them good at survival, they are an overly specialized species with no room to adapt, the definition of an evolutionary dead end.
