Hammock Full of Wu - by Mollie Rivera

Xiao Liwu sits in his hammock on Sunday afternoon. At this time there were only a few people remaining in the exhibit and he was enjoying the peace and quiet.

According to Wikipedia's List of giant pandas (just the ones who are alive), there are 19 Great Pandas born after June 6, 2008. Here are the names and birth dates I found of the ones still living (they're not in chronological order):

Bao Bao (born 2013)

Bei Bei (born 2015)

He Hua (born 2020)

Jia Panpan (born 2015)

Jia Yueyue (born 2015)

Jiao Qing (born 2010)

Lin Bing (born 2009)

Meng Lan (born 2015)

Po (born 2010) [lol]

Qi Zai (born 2009)

Rou Rou (born 2016)

Xiao Liwu (born 2012)

Xiang Xiang (born 2017)

Xiao Qi Ji (born 2020)

Yuan Zai (born 2013)

Yun Zi (born 2009)

Fubao (2020)

Da Mao (September 1, 2008)

Xi Lan (August 30, 2008)

And now because I'm curious (and rolling with it at this point), I'm gonna count how many giant pandas were born after 2008 but who may have, unfortunately, passed away. [one brief overview later] The good news is that there are none! (at least, no famous ones. Still, a win is a win!)

So, yeah. This is only a list of giant pandas (so we're not getting red pandas or literally any other species here), but for giant pandas, an average birth rate of less than two new pandas a year with the spike of panda births being 2 in 2008 and no new giant pandas since 2020 (4 years ago now) means that the original thought was straight up feasible to someone who's not bored enough to comb through wikipedia and its resources to figure it out. XD I thought it was real for a hot second until I wanted to figure out the numbers. XD

[listen: I know I only counted the pandas that have been born since KFP came out. There are an additional 7 pandas who have been born between 2004-2008 as well (marking an actual 20 year number), but I thought it'd be funnier just to pit the movie franchise against the real-time population rate . XD List here:

Er Shun (2007)

Mei Lan (2006)

Su Lin (2005)

Tai Shan (2005)

Yuan Yuan (2004)

Wang Wang (2005)

Zhen Zhen (2007)

This leaves the final score at 4 movies over 16 years v 26 itty bitty giant panda babies over 20 years. Though, at a quick glance, the rate of pandas (1.58 births per year with a maximum of 2/year over a 12 year period v. 2.33 births per year with a maximum of 3/year over a 4 year period) seems to be going down. That or giant pandas fucked relatively hard in 2004-2005.)]
