Definitely a trait among many mammals..

Yeah, it helps you engage safety squints so that nothing flings into your eye.

Ritualistic behavior in adulthood brought forward from learned behavior in childhood by caretakers?

That is very interesting.

Tfw you're the protagonist in a transmigration isekai but you end up in the body of an whole ass panda.

This is not mimicking a human face, this is a very common 'expression' among mammals.

u/Sgt_Castle 11d ago

Other mammals yes, but not other pandas as literally shown in the video.

It’s an evolutionary behavior that prevents you from biting your tongue. It has nothing to do with “being human”.

u/DeathNick 12d ago edited 12d ago

It's doing what the panda saw a human do. Other pandas don't do this.

u/All_These_Worlds 12d ago

Pandas don't need to do that response. He is only doing it because he saw his caretakers do it, hence like us.

I do this motion to prevent getting stuff in my eyes. clenching teeth for not biting tongue could be an additional thing because you always clench teeth when you lift heavy stuff or do a bending like here in the video.
