A new natural enemy is preying upon China's shrinking
population of wild pandas, posing a "significant threat" to their survival,
researchers say. Stalked to near extinction by poachers and decimated by
starvation, China's most beloved creatures are now also dying of a disease most
likely caused by a roundworm called Baylisascaris schroederi, which can infect
the brain and other vital organs. (USA Today)
