Maybe the professional photographers here can help me? We are having an argument if the above picture is real or not. I did a bunch of Googling but could not confirm really if it actually is true or fake. Supposibly its an ANA plane flying a panda from China to Japan. I'm sorry for the low quality, Having not flown ANA ever I can't really even tell if that part is true or not.

well, this is definitly no living panda....
A good friend of mine brought his daughter a toy panda with a size like in the picture back home from a business trip to japan. The plane had enough empty seats so that he could take it on board. Maybe it's the same here

Hi.
A panda in an emergency row? I doubt it. A panda is dangerous in case of an emergency because he can't put the lifejacket by himself and can block the exit.

I really don't think there are going to let a wild panda on board a passenger aircraft; Even if it was a trained Panda.
Also, If I was flying this airline and saw live panda boarding the plane, I would probably change flights. I guess that's a personal preference for safety reasons.
Quoting AJO (Reply 5): pandas aren't really friendly towards humans. So I doubt they would let one "sit" in a passenger cabin.
agreed

looks like an emergency row to me. however, I cannot read that language above the door that preceedes "EXIT". Maybe it says "NOT AN".
to the thread starter:
this is NOT how priceless and dangerous pandas travel. Im now wondering if that traveler purchased a seat for that stuffed animal.
