The Polar Bear

Destination: not yet visited.

Pack ice, and the largest land carnivore on earth. Its skin is black under hairs that are clear and hollow rather than white, and it can smell a seal through a metre of snow.

It is also, technically, a relative. Same family as the panda, opposite job entirely — one of them went all in on hunting, the other went all in on a grass it can barely digest. Only one of those looks like a decision.

Nothing from this stop is in the shop yet. The panda is out at six other stops right now — see The Tour, or everything that's live.
