Why are pandas so popular and cute?

Giant pandas’ bamboo diet makes them less scary than other bears. Eating bamboo has also made giant pandas round of face and round of body, which is quite endearing. They need to be round to keep warm on a low-energy diet and the round face holds powerful jaw muscles for munching bamboo. If you visit the Panda Breeding Center in Chengdu, you can see pandas up close, have your photo taken with them and even hold a panda cub.

   Interacting with the pandas and helping the panda keepers care for the pandas was the highlight of this trip. Watching the baby pandas attempt to crawl and feeling the warmth of a young panda's paw is really "WOW"!    by Betty (October 25, 2010)
   Without a doubt, the holding of a 1 year old panda bear at the breeding and research center was tops and will be one of the most exciting moments in my travels, which began in 1957.     by Barry (October 8, 2009)
   My wife and I had a really great time in Chengdu. The panda keeper experience is excellent. There is a little work (the dirty jobs are done quickly and first thing) but the reward of being up close with the pandas is more than worth it.     by Jason (September 12, 2009)
