He is so adorable, but I wonder who was in charge of painting his tux. They made a mess! My guess is they were either “in training,” drunk, or ran out of paint. I mean, they only manage one white eye brow. Sloppy craftsmanship if you ask me. But it’s not his fault. Poor dear. He was given extra sweetness for his personality.

Breaking News — The Cutetropolis Municipal Zoo has become engulfed in scandal as its most recent acquisition of a panda bear has been revealed to be an impostor. Reached for comment, zoo director Irwin Devious defended the action, saying “Look, do you have any idea how hard it is to get a real panda? There’s a waiting list, there’s paperwork — so I took a shortcut, sue me.”
