"Relative outcomes completely bust the fantasy of monster pandas being unmistakably prominent right at home."
"On the off chance that I was unable to see it with my great primate eyes, that implied that would-be meat-eating hunters with their more unfortunate vision probably won't have the option to see it, all things considered. It was only a question of exhibiting this unbiased."
