Pandas in disguise.

Chinese scientists don panda costumes to minimize cubs’ contact with humans. The researchers came up themselves with the unusual way of dressing up to study the bears up close. The costumes are tailor made for the Wolong Panda Research Center.

A silly suit worn for a serious purpose: they don’t want the cubs growing too attached to humans because someday they hope to release the pandas into a nearby unsupervised reserve.
