Unfortunately, across the Atlantic, crestfallen staff and visitors to the Calgary Zoo are bidding goodbye three years earlier than expected to a pair of adult pandas on loan from China.
Unpalatable truth be told, panda babies, with their pinkish skin and high-pitched shrieks, resemble the stomach-bursting alien in the classic Ridley Scott film more than they do their cute and cuddly parents.
