Here's why:
* Pandas: While they may appear clumsy, pandas can run surprisingly fast, reaching speeds of up to 20 miles per hour in short bursts. This is necessary for them to escape predators or chase after food.
* Koalas: Koalas are much slower and more adapted to climbing trees. Their top speed on the ground is only around 6 miles per hour.
So, if you were to have a race between a panda and a koala, the panda would win hands down!
