cuteness overload


The giant panda is the rarest of the bears and among the most threatened. Being such a picky eater probably doesn't help. They are super adorable, though, and are a favourite of zoo visitors where they are loaned out for conservation and breeding purposes.


Another picky eater is the Koala. They were listed as endangered for the first time in 2022 when it was thought there were fewer than 100,000 left. The 2019-20 bushfires decimated many of Australia's animals. But, as with the panda, the loss of habitat is also a major contributing factor.


Both the panda and koala have been the 'face' of their respective home countries for many years.
