I keep seeing people say that pandas are a worthless species and that we're wasting time/resources trying to preserve them just because they're cute and we should just let them go extinct. Is this true?
well, here's the thing- there's no such thing as a "worthless species" to begin with, because worth is not defined by usefulness to one specific species of uppity bipedal primates, and also! finding one really charismatic species and getting people to care about it enough to protect it is GREAT, actually!
because protecting pandas?
also means protecting literally every other living creature in this ecosystem:
and there is. LOTS of those.
thus, pandas act as a huge furry-and-adorable umbrella to every other animal that shares their habitat, shielding them from the terrible metaphorical rainstorm of habitat loss and human encroachment through the power of being just really, REALLY cute.
every environment on earth needs a panda umbrella species if we want to protect it in the age of extinction. what will it be for yours?

several years ago I had a terrible relationship-destroying row with a person I cared about very much and for some reason I had the poster for "Dunston Checks In" as my phone wallpaper so every time I looked at my phone in that soul-shattering evening I saw this fuckin ape looking at me while riding a suitcase

I needed to find players for an American football team but all I found was a bunch of chimpanzees, gorillas, and other various apes and monkeys.

Bunjy, how close to a human liver do you need to have to eat chocolate? Can great apes eat chocolate? Can any other primate?
no, other great apes can't have chocolate, and other primates can't either! you need an actual hominin-line liver to pull this trick off, so humans and human ancestors only as far as primates go.
other primates can and do eat the flesh of the cacao fruit, which chocolate is made from, but chocolate is made from the seeds, aaaand those are where the cacao plant is hiding all of its secret and most potent poisons.
(theobromine. it's theobromine)
were a chimpanzee or smaller monkey to pig out on chocolate or cacao seeds, they could expect to experience hyperactivity, tremors, increased heartrate, seizures, and heart failure. in roughly that order.
"oh god! I should have stopped thirty seeds ago!! why did I do that!!!"
so you know what? sometimes it's good to be a human, actually.
"oh, boy! poison!! my favorite!!!"
humans stand head and shoulders above every other primate on earth when it comes to the enormous variety of foods they are able to eat without getting sick or dying about it!
but also just literally. humans are very tall.
okay that's all, good night love you
