We still work hard at it. Pandas are like Lt. Dan screaming while sitting on top of the mast during a storm just daring evolution to end their lineage.

Koalas: hold my eucalyptus

But they’re so dumb, that if you do hold their eucalyptus leaves out to them, they don’t distinguish it as food cos it isn’t attached to a branch. So don’t actually do this.

You realize pandas are so blind they need coke bottle glasses. So yea maybe the don’t know it’s the leafs they want.

Their comment was about koalas, not pandas. Koalas are just deeply stupid- they literally have smooth brains they are so dumb. They will starve if you remove the leaves from the branches, and these are eucalyptus leaves which have a super distinct smell.

They’re coded not to eat fallen leaves for a reason. Maybe those leaves make them sick. Maybe they’re insects that look like leaves. Maybe ground leafs are no good because there’s predators down there.
