The Verge Review of Animals: the red panda

It was getting late on the sixth day, and God realized he had a few more animals to make. God really wanted to make sure everything was done before the seventh day, because he had already made plans that couldn't be moved. So God gathered some of his favorite creations and said, "Alright, let's try to design by committee. What's missing?"

And God's creations sat around the table shouting a cacophony of unhelpful things: "I like bears!" "I like foxes!" "I like raccoons!" And God said, "Bears... foxes... raccoons... Sure, whatever, I can probably work with that." And God said, "Let us make a wild animal in the image of... um... all those things I just said." And it was so.
