"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

― Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

La nuovissima Panda

Anzi, i nuovissimi panda.




Nel "Giant Panda Research Center" di Wolong, in Cina, sono stati presentati ieri i trenta panda nati in seguito alle scorse inseminazioni artificiali. Un successo senza precedenti, per una specie che rischia l’estinzione proprio a causa della bassa natalità. I panda nel centro sono così diventati 217.

Visto che ne sono nati trenta, non è che se ne potrebbe avere uno?

Magari così…


…o così…

…magari così è troppo…

…però anche così (se non vogliamo separarlo dalla mamma)…

…purché non sia così:

    la vecchia panda era una macchina bellissima. ho imparato a guidare su quella di mia zia, e poi ne ho guidata una per 10 mesi per lavoro. veramente un ottimo veicolo.

    i panda poi sono stupendi.

    Ho un’idiosincrasia congenita nei confronti delle auto Fiat. Dev’essere perché ho preso la patente su una terrificante Punto.

    Comunque ammetto che la Panda 4×4 in montagna ha il suo perché ed è unica nella sua categoria, oltre a costituire una salvezza per molti dei molti abitanti di zone semi-irraggiungibili d’Italia.
