Your favourite piece of Panda trivia

So according to ancient Chinese legend, the panda was once an all-white bear. There was a panda cub being attacked by a leopard and a small girl tried to save the cub but was killed by the leopard instead. Pandas came to her funeral wearing armbands of black ashes as was tradition. As they wiped their eyes, hugged each other, and covered their ears to drown out the cries of grief, they smudged the black ashes, stained their fur black and since that day all pandas have carried these marks. 

If you had a superpower, what would it be and why?

Power Mimicry- so you can copy or absorb another person’s powers or skills. I could run as fast as Usain Bolt, sing like Beyoncé, and speak every language under the sun (and technically could steal other people’s super powers (!) so I could still fly/teleport/be invisible if I wanted.)

Your favourite karaoke song and why?

“Total Eclispse of The Heart” – especially trying to sing both the melody and the harmony at the same time.
