New Panda

Today, the world welcomed another baby panda born in captivity. Since panda's are endangered, countries are trying to do their part by protecting these animals. In my opinion, pandas are adorable even if they can be a little aggressive and protective. Baby pandas are even cuter, especially the one in the picture. In the picture, the new mother can be seen playing with her baby. The baby doesn't seem to be able to stand up on its own yet, but it will get there with its mother's nurturing attitude. The baby has a long way to go before it becomes as big as its mother. At least the mother can relax knowing that her baby is safe within those bars that confine them. It may not be where she would want to be, but at least she doesn't have to worry about the dangers of the outside world. Hopefully, living in captivity will not affect her new baby too much. The cub should be fine as long as it follows behind its mother. I think that it is somewhat of a good thing to keep endangered animals, like pandas, in captivity. There is a good and a bad side. The good side is that the animals are safe, and they do not have to worry about anybody hunting them or their young. Endangered animals have a better chance of their numbers increasing in captivity than they do in the wild. The bad side is that captivity can affect the animals' natural instincts. Since they are so dependent on human interaction and feeding, they may not know how to hunt or survive on their own if they were ever to be released back into the wild.
