That would leave them with dragons as their only other official animal and we all saw what happened with Smaug. I don't expect either to just fade away without a massive waste of resources first.Another major concern I have is are the Chinese exploiting the Panda as a white elephant?
Giving one to a recession-recovering country is a huge economical burden. Shit... its all Edinburgh f**king talks about these days is getting one of these animals pregnant.
