“I think if I was to reincarnate, I’d want to come back as a healthy Panda bear. They just enjoy life,” a third commented.

Giant pandas, like Bei Bei, are native to China, according to Live Science. These fuzzy creatures are endangered; less than 2,000 live in the wild, according to the publication.

Bamboo is a giant panda’s go-to food, consuming an estimated 28 pounds each day, according to National Geographic, which added these bears are “skilled tree-climbers and efficient swimmers.”
