Panda-ring for Your Vote
Since Newt and Mitt and Rick and Ron are pandering for your votes and mine ... I thought I'd do a little PANDA-ring of my own.
I took these at the San Diego Zoo .. they cannot be marketed commercially or otherwise ... but I don't believe there's any violation in sharing them with friends; please do not copy or transmit these in any form.
1) Pandas are NOT necessarily bears! They are "large bearlike mammals with characteristic black and white markings, native to certain mountain forests of central and western China. They feed almost entirely on bamboo and have become increasingly rare. They are now usually placed with the bears (family Ursidae), but were formerly thought to belong with the raccoons (family Procyonidae).
2) If you think I've earned it ... vote that you like this! If not, well, I'll have to bear it.
Did I BAMBOOzle you with my headline?
Yes-- but Pandas are much cuter than any of the candidates!
Just too cute... A most excellent selection of fine photos of furry friends.
And of course you got your info right on about the Panda. So many folks get it wrong...
You pander well my friend. You got my vote!
