Wait... In France we count the sheep too but "mouton" isn't the same as "dormir" at all 😅

The evil general is so adorable. That scene of him with 100 pandas, showing them the star he's from . . . so sweet and melancholy. General needs headpats.

According to google, (as of 2014) there were 1864 giant pandas in the wild. Dunno about other species and captivity though.

How can I sleep knowing there aren’t even 2000 pandas on earth? Every time I see video of baby pandas “Gambaree~”

That's a new theory, a very modern-English-centred one (and therefore anachronistic; it's actually from the Islamic world, 11th or 12th century). That's not the origin of counting sheep (the association went the other way). So pandas could work (if counting sheep ever does work), since the cuteness-overload might fulfil the requirements.

@Cynn
This chapter did make me look that up for some peace-of-mind, and, yeah, the actual number is unconfirmed. There are various estimates, but which populations they count drastically changes the numbers (the subspecies and those in captivity may or may not be included, for one). That's actually closer to the estimated number of red pandas (that's just as sad, or worse). But they all do better in the wild, so… Sleep well.
