more bamboo.

Or, uh, play bongos?
Or fly spaceships into outer space?

Yeah, as a matter of fact, it says here
what other pandas really like is, uh, to be alone.

-I like to be alone sometimes but not ALL the time.
My whole family likes to do things together.
-It really says that pandas like to be by themselves?
