  1. i think people should help panda’s because my mom once told me that panda use to eat maet but too many other species of animals are eating meat but they are too lazy to fight so they change to eating plants but theirs too many animals eating plants too so they found out only bamboo no one will eat so they went eating bamboo’s but they don’t like eating bamboo’s either so ton’s of them are dying and also i think it’s because people are killing and eating them ithin they are very poor so PLEASE HELP THE PANDA OR ANY OTHER ANIMAL THAT’S CLOSE TO EEXXTTIINNCC,EXTINC

  2. i love pandas and so many other animals and living organisms but too many people are being so selfish an careless so soon i’m going 2 need find something else 2 love :o… 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁

  3. people probley kill them for fur!!! IMAGINE BEARS KILLING US JUST FOR OUR HAIR!!!or sort of like the wolverine getting a GIANT highway built in the middle of our house!!! imagine getting hit by a car in your own house just trying to go to the washroom!!!!!

  4. or imagine ur a grizzly bear and u have 2 worry about food water ur habitat and other than that ur life is a blast, but then some random aliens come out of nowhere and ruin EVERYTHING! ur family friends and 3 of ur 4 basic needs are wiped out! and before u know it ur wiped out 2! think about it by distroying the environment and the animals wich help us and our evironment ur basicly just killing urself!

  5. i totally agree with ranger sLammasorus! and and its just so sad seeing polar bears, panda bears or even american bears disappearing !
    i wish that we would use mother nature providings instead of lame modern stuff but the only problem is where people with diabetes be without there medication its like we are all brain wash by technology !and thanks to EARTH RANGERS!
