WHY ARE PANDAS BLACK AND WHITE?

Why are pandas black and white? The team of researchers from University of California, Davis and University of California, Long Beach found out, and explain it in a study published in the journal, Behavioral Ecology.
– Researchers concluded that most regions of the panda, including the face, neck, belly and rump are white to help it hide in snowy areas, while its arms and legs are black to help it hide in the shade.
– The scientists say the markings on the panda’s head serve a different purpose: communication, both with each other and predators. The panda’s dark ears serve as warning signals for potential predators and its dark eye patches help them recognize each other and signal aggression toward one another.
– Researchers also found that the panda’s black and white coloration comes from its diet, which is mostly comprised of bamboo.
* They should have led with the diet thing.
* Uhh… red pandas eat bamboo, too. Explain that.
* So do zebras eat bamboo?
* The biggest question they need to answer is: why aren’t they’re more pandas? They’re so adorable they should have no trouble getting laid.
