I recently decided on my favourite animal in case I am ever interviewed. It is in fact the panda.
This was mostly due to the great education I recieved from 100 Facts About Pandas by David O’Doherty.
Did you know for instance that after concerted effort a group of scientists decided that the collective noun for Pandas was ‘cupboard’ – as in ‘a cupboard of Pandas’? Or that a cupboard of Pandas will only be photographed in even numbers (you’ll never find an odd-numbered cupboard)? Another ‘famous’ Panda mis-classification? They are not considered a mammal – they are considered a nut; which is why Adolf Hitler, a vegetarian, was allowed to feast on pandas. Oh yes – and all pandas are born female. Males are only created if a panda receives a fright in its first 48 hours of life. This is why some zoos employ panda spookers. Of course.
