So..evidently pandas aren't originally from China at all!

If you don't want to read the article, evidently fossil remains of the Giant Panda's ancestor, Agriarctos Beatrix, have been found in Spain, and ONLY in Spain, particularly one providence, showing that they didn't roam from that area. So, pandas are actually Spanish in origin, which is awesome to me because I have a LOT of Spaniard blood.
Also, these bears evidently only weighed up to 130 pounds. That's smaller than a lot of dogs, people, particularly considering their stocky, compact build.
