Pandariffic!

Brace yourselves everyone, I've got some delightful news for you. Contrary to what you thought, that there were only four or five pandas left in the world...two of them at the Bronx Zoo...there are actually many more...well, a few more. According to this piece on (yes) happynews.com, a group of scientists used DNA samples to determine that their estimate of the wild panda population in a nature sanctuary in China was off by half. Good news for pandas everywhere. So how many are there...in this reserve? Looks like there are between 66 and 72 pandas in the Wanglang Nature Reserve. Wow, 66, they are breeding like flies.
