That pandas are too stupid to survive or reproduce on their own. The truth is that breeders couldn't figure out the conditions for them to do it, and that we ignored the ways in which they are incredibly adapted to their environment.

Not only was this falsely shares but also harmful to the preservation of the species by poisoning public perception, and came as a direct result of yellow journalism and misinformation shared online.

For more info I recommend the book "The Truth About Animals: Stoned Sloths, Lovelorn Hippos, and Other Tales from the Wild Side of Wildlife" by Lucy Cooke
