    I was required to stop eating pangolin after I was Patient Zero for a global coronavirus pandemic but I’m glad they’re being bred and domesticated. I do miss pangolin soup so and this gives me hope that I’ll get another ladle someday without all the repurcussions.

    And if anyone wants to argue with me that it was bats or a lab leak, I want to be very clear: bat soup sucks — the texture bothers me more than the flavor — and I stopped cheating on my wives with virologists after my new therapist helped me understand I was really cheating on my own immune system.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The female of the critically endangered mammal was born July 1, the second Chinese pangolin born in captivity in Europe following her sister, Cone, in February last year.

    When the park in 2022 received Guo Bao, a male, and Run Hou Tang, a female, from the Taipei zoo, the leading breeder of the mammals, the major goal was just to keep them alive and in good health, zoo director Miroslav Bobek said Wednesday.

    The Chinese pangolin is native to southern China and Southeast Asia.

    The pangolins are difficult to breed in captivity because they require a special feed that includes drone larvae and need a particular humidity and temperature in their enclosure.

    The pangolins arrived came after Prague decided to revoke a sister-city agreement with Beijing and signed a similar deal in 2020 with the Taiwanese capital, Taipei.

    The deal caused tensions with China, which claims Taiwan as part of its territory.
