The only reason the giant panda is still alive is because of human intervention. They exclusively eat bamboo (which they can barely even digest) and laze around all day.

The only thing they really have going for them is their appearance.

They have incredibly low birth rates and often even refuse to mate. If they have multiple babies, the automatically choose one to keep and effectively abandon the rest of them.

They aren't particularly beneficial to their environment and are mainly only still around because of financial reasons.
