1. A new species of shrimp-like shellfish, resembling giant pandas, has been discovered in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan. The initial finding was made by a research team last year.
2. Further exploration led to the discovery of another similar species, with a pattern even closer to that of the giant panda. The team named this second species "yori panda," meaning "more like pandas."
3. Researchers plan to investigate why these shellfish have evolved with panda-like patterns and suggest it may aid in camouflage from predators on the seabed. Despite recent return of giant pandas from a local facility, residents can now observe two marine species sporting panda-like markings in the sea.
