Man and His Symbols

Always feeling sorry for pandas, and living currently near the world-renown "Bronx Zoo" (which once having saved the American bison from extinction [you can hear a "Bronx cheer" come from one of them if you get close enough] currently has one of the largest collections of "snow leopards" [ounce also in the dictionary] I thought to comment about what I heard about pandas. They have very little time to sleep! They have to eat and eat and eat just to get nutrition from bamboo, which many mammals would find hard to live on. This book/argument might be an example of taking a problem in taxonomy, that is some wonder if the panda's related to the raccoon, some to the bear, so lets really stir it up by introducing "intelligent design" there where there's still research to be done. One was born in the US the other day, a couple of pounds and a foot long. Just for the record the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) won their suit against the wrestlers, though I had some problem with China executing poachers of pandas, they staying the WWF's recognized symbol. "Man and His Symbols"! (kudos to Dr. Carl G. Jung)
