National Panda Hide & Seek Championship fools Scientists

Chinese scientists have just released the results of their latest survey into the population of Pandas in China. It shows a 40% increase to 1,600 animals over the last survey. The leading experts suggest that this increase is not down to a recovery in the population, but reflects more on the improved methods into locating pandas.

I think it is because the last time a count was taken, the pandas were having their annual Panda Hide & Seek Championship - there can be no other rational explanation! For an "experts" view click here.
