Panda bear or simply the panda, is a bear native to South Central China. It is characterised by large, black patches around its eyes, over the ears, and across its round body. The name “giant panda” is sometimes used to distinguish it from the red panda, a neighboring musteloid. Though it belongs to the order Carnivora, the giant panda is a folivore, with bamboo shoots and leaves making up more than 99% of its diet. Giant pandas in the wild will occasionally eat other grasses, wild tubers, or even meat in the form of birds, rodents, or carrion. In captivity, they may receive honey, eggs, fish, yams, shrub leaves, oranges, or bananas along with specially prepared food.

Oreo Cooke Day
OREO COOKIES!!!
*now where’s the glass of milk*
Sylum Snippet!
He folded the newspaper down, glanced at the plate and glass set in front of him.
Oreos and a glass of milk.
Every alarm bell in his head went off, something was wrong. He folded the paper set it on the table next to the plate, folded his hands on the table, and then looked over at his grandmother. The woman was a Saint, no really … a Saint, she always was damn good at making sure to get her way. Stubborn as hell, which obviously runs in the family, considering his own damn stubborn streak.
“Avó.”
“Peter dear.”
He made the sign of the cross. “Holy Mother come to my aid.”
She rolled her eyes, but laughed lightly. “You are to suspicious my dear Peter.”
“It’s saved me many times.” He gave her a pointed look. “You brought me milk and cookies. Obviously, what you have to tell me is sudden, or it would be Pastal de nata, and I know the cook is off today.”
“You love Oreos and I can’t just spoil my favorite grandson?” She reached over and took a cookie and dipped it into the milk.
“Don’t make me call Wenceslaus.” Peter grabbed his own cookie, pulled it apart and licked the creamy filling. “Just tell me.”
“Aguilar called,” she paused for a moment then took a deep breath. “Jamie is helping a kid, who according to all his teachers will be an Olympic Fencer.”
Peter had learned patience over the past few centuries, but so far he had no idea what this had to do with him.
“His name is Marcus, and he’s a spitting image of you when you were an annoying teenager…”
“I have a descendant?” He stared at Elizabeth in shock. “Tell me more … “

Polar Bear Day
The polar bear is a hypercarnivorous bear whose native range lies largely within the Arctic Circle, encompassing the Arctic Ocean, its surrounding seas and surrounding land masses. It is the largest extant bear species, as well as the largest extant land carnivore. A boar (adult male) weighs around 350–700 kg (770–1,540 lb), while a sow (adult female) is about half that size. Although it is the sister species of the brown bear, it has evolved to occupy a narrower ecological niche, with many body characteristics adapted for cold temperatures, for moving across snow, ice and open water, and for hunting seals, which make up most of its diet. Although most polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their time on the sea ice. Their scientific name means “maritime bear” and derives from this fact. Polar bears hunt their preferred food of seals from the edge of sea ice, often living off fat reserves when no sea ice is present. Because of their dependence on the sea ice, polar bears are classified as marine mammals.

Global Movie Day
It’s Global Movie Day! Something that should truly be celebrated at Sylum!
On this day decided to have some fun. Remember those ‘how many Jelly Beans are in the Jar’ games? We’re going to do a version of that.
How many movies are showcased in Sylum? Not TV Shows, Not Fandoms, Not Books – just Movies?
A few notes: If it’s a Franchise – count that as one movie (ex: Fast & Furious is 1 not 9). If we use an image of an actor that played a Historical Character in said movie – it counts.
The person who gets the closest number will get to pick a characters/pairing of their choosing for a snippet. If a few of you get close or
