A baby panda raised by hand

An orphaned red panda is being reared by hand at the Rheintal zoo in Eichberg, St.Gallen. His mother and sister died shortly after he was born. He now receives round the clock care from an apprentice zookeeper, who feeds him with a bottle. (SF, swissinfo.ch 1.09.2009)

i reckon the carer should pick out the name since she has been looking after it.

@ProphetTenebrae ok man i get ur point. According to ur last sentence YOU have no understanding of science because you wrote so sure that for 100% its not a bear. And btw Im leaving it now and deleting all my comments

[ProphetTenebrae]

@LeoMessi42 Actually, if you looked at the phylogenetics of its taxonomy you'd see that the last common ancestor of it had with the bear about forty million years ago.

You're acting as if it hasn't been studied and that nothing is known about it.

And really, I can declare its not a bear if all the existing evidence indicates it is not.

Also, your nonsensical assertion about 100% is churlish. I never said that and only someone with no understanding of science would demand such certainty.
