The axe is educational: pandas eat a huge amount of bamboo every day, breaking and dismantling it into fibers - their stomachs are protected by a thick layer of fabric from the splinters.

In the first video, it looks like the panda is having a hard time chewing it, but it's not.

This panda was raised by zoo staff, not other pandas. It's very difficult for humans to break bamboo, so the panda, as a cub, watched the caretaker's tense face and decided that it was necessary to make a face like this.

Second video for comparison.

Monkey mafia is operating in Asia - monkeys gather in packs and rob tourists, and then ask for ransom in the form of goodies.

Scientists observed the primates for almost a year and concluded: first of all, they try to steal the most valuable things - phone, laptop, camera. In second place - glasses and other bling.

The cunning monkeys even have rates: - if you offer a banana for a smartphone, the monkey will smash it. The more expensive the item, the longer the thief will haggle. The most expensive item was raw eggs, but tourists rarely bring them with them. Then come crackers and fruit.

Sometimes tourists have to go to the abbot of the temple and ask - "how much is normal to give?", because they are afraid that they will never see the expensive thing again.

Bali has made a whole memo for tourists, and in popular areas there are mediators who for a modest sum will "solve issues" with the local monkey gang.
