Japan’s Standing Panda & More Video
Posted by: Loren Coleman on October 29th, 2007
Did you know that this strange bipedal behavior of a standing red panda has been all the rage in Japan?
Here’s a fun video on a diversity of the following noted Fortean and cryptozoological topics, which ends with a suggested solution to the Standing Panda’s appearance.
Mothman;
Chupacabras;
Bigfoot (with a ghost face in the background);
Tsuchinoko (crypto-creature famous in Japan);
Nessie;
Alien with FBI/KGB/Gestapo agents (actually a “Talk of the Times” newspaper hoax);
Flatwoods Monster;
The Doll with growing hair (another typically Japanese Forteana);
Aliens play with cattle mutilations;
Crop circles, by drawing Doraemon;
A play on a famous Australian Sea Serpent photo;
An explanation for Japan’s mystery guardrail metal shards; finally,
The standing Lesser Panda that was the sensation in the land of the rising Sun.
I thank Kentaro Mori of Forgetomori.com for pointing me to this YouTube video, for a few moments of comedic relief.

Great, yet strange, video.
That was weird. But very funny.
That was random and weird, yet strangely hilarious…
Cute little masked guy….he must have been hanging out with Oliver!
Watching the “Flatwoods Monster” walking down the street was a trip. Also, that picture of the supposedly captured little alien that was being led away by the two guys in trenchcoats? I hadnt seen that photo in decades.
That’s not a panda!
That’s Ranger Rick!

Very funny!
This is interesting to see as I live in Japan. Yes, the red pandas are very popular here, always a big draw at zoos and the bipedal one is a star. As for the video, it’s strange, but then again Japanese TV can seem a little strange to those who aren’t used to it. Especially shows on cryptids or UMAs (Unidentified Mystery Animals) as they like to call them here, can be a little over the top sometimes. Compared with some of the other stuff floating around, this video is not SO bizarre. I’ve seen weirder.
