Perhaps They've Overthought This One.

THIS is rather curious.
Researchers at the Hetaoping Research and Conservation Center for the Giant Panda in Wolong National Nature Reserve in Sichuan province, China came up with a gumptious way to help a four month panda cub re-adapt  to wildlife.

For the success of the reintroduction the baby panda isn’t supposed to come in contact with humans so the researchers had to dress-up as giant pandas in order to do their job.
I can understand the thinking behind not wanting pandas to get used to living among humans, but is it really that much worse than leading them to believe that one of them can do things the others can't? What the fuck? Can't you picture the pandas seeing this and thinking "hey, how come Randy can walk on two legs...and carry things...ohmygod, Randy can take his own head off!!!!...heeeeeey, Randy can drive a car? How come we can't? This is fucking bullshit!!!!"
