Photo credit to my friend and former colleague Jen Goodlad who was dispatched to assist this idiot trash panda. Juveniles are prone to misadventure because they’re young, active and don’t understand physics. He suffered severe injuries to his pride, but was otherwise unharmed

#30 Found This Young Trash Boi Stuck In The Bottom Of A Bin, Just Baking In The Sun, Exausted, And Likely A Bit Tipsy Judging By His Trash Of Choice .

Thirsty Dude Gulped It Down, Chilled Another 10 Min, Perked Right Up N Wiggled His Weird Lil Butt To Whatever Gross Adventure Is Next…….absolutely Reeking Of Stale Beer And Bad Decisions
