I'm a zoologist, and I wholeheartedly agree with the panda and the koala. Pandas don't matter. I'm sorry, but they don't. HOWEVER. You are spreading a lot of misinformation, and I'm gonna stan for my bird bois.
For starters, ostriches don't do that. Their main survival instinct is to run, because that is what they evolved to be best at. They are not smart, but they do not have to be, because nothing can outrun them.
Kakapo are also rather intelligent, but they're flightless, so they have no defense against introduced species, just as we have no defense to diseases we have never been exposed to before. That's not their fault, that's ours.
Turkeys are also highly intelligent, but like a lot of other animals, mating season turns males into single-minded maniacs and they don't care what is is, any hole's a goal.
It is also untrue about koalas and the "leaves on a plate" thing. They're well aware of what it is, but they don't want it if you present it to them like that. They want to pick their own leaves. Yeah, they're picky about leaves that are exactly the same as all the other leaves. Don't ask me why, koalas are dumb.
