Wow, that's nuts

Why is this news? This was already known 2 months ago. The news should be that they kept lying for so long.

China: Why does everyone question our discoveries?

Also China:

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 13 points 13 hours ago

But aren’t pandas from China? I was expecting this to be some other country that, you know, doesnt have pandas.

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 hours ago

Pandas are owned by the government. Not everyone in China can get a panda.

In the late 2010s and early 2020s, with China–United States relations straining, China began declining to renew panda leases for U.S. zoos.[27][28] The San Diego Zoo pandas returned to China in 2019, followed by pandas at the Memphis Zoo and National Zoo in Washington, D.C. in 2023.[29]The Memphis pandas, Ya Ya and Le Le, became a rallying point for Chinese calls to repatriate the bears after accusations of poor living conditions circulated on Chinese social media sites and the sudden death of Le Le in February 2023.

Is it really a zoo or just some side show act charging $5 to see pandas in their back yard?

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 30 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

Did they order their panda from Wish?

Cute doggo, but maybe don’t paint them?

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

They recalled them from the world famous San Diego zoo.....and the kids broke them the next day.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Ooh that would be a nice scam. Accuse the US of returning painted dogs.

[-] bizzle@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

That's the cutest dog I've ever seen lmfao

[-] TheGingerNut@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 19 hours ago

Well at least they don't need to pay rent to china

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago
[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Several pandas are in the US, on loan from China, and I think we may be paying rent on some.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 0 points 11 hours ago

But this is in China…
