You know, China really is a colorful place with lots of cool patterns.
We know what the golden pheasant'’’s color is all about.
But what about the giant panda?
(Laughing) Oof!
Aah!
Didn'’’t see that coming.
Come on, Martin, quit fooling around.
We'’’ve gotta figure out why a panda has this pattern.
It is very distinctive.
Hmm... Oof!
Aah!
(Groaning in pain) So, you were saying, bro?
Well, I will say that pandas are very powerful.
(Leaves rustling) Hey, I see what'’’s going on!
Yeah, so do I.
Two pandas walking in the forest.
Yeah, but they are following the pattern.
That panda pattern is so easy to spot in this green forest.
The baby panda follows the black and white panda pattern.
That must be it!
Ooh!

Talk about colorful!
I love these blue faces.
Hey, but while we'’’re asking the question, why are golden snub nosed monkeys so... colorful?
Well, there'’’s one reason.

Hard not to notice him.
Oh, great one!
(Laughing) Hey, I knew that was funny.
