Pandas suffer covid-19 bamboo shortage
We love pandas because they eat bamboo, so this dek from the CBC was particularly alarming:
“Zoo asks for expedited panda shipping in face of COVID-19-related bamboo disruptions.”
A Canadian zoo, no longer capable of obtaining bamboo due to supply chain disruption, is returning two giant pandas to China (they were on loan). “Can you imagine not having bamboo for a few days?” zoo president Clément Lanthier asked CBC News. The PandaCam is already offline, so hopefully they’ve already returned to doing what pandas do best: eat bamboo.
Things that I have learned from this piece:
You can loan pandas.
Pandas shit over 30 times daily.
