Theme park advertises for lazy people to work as pandas

Chessington World of Adventures in Surrey has released a job advertisment to recruit pandas. The advert hopes to recruit people who have unique qualities such as a fondness for bamboo and who are colour-blind.

Job hunters keen on applying for the positions will have to wear a specially designed animatronic panda suit for the theme park's new show, called Pandamonium, set to open later this year.



The metal mammals have faces which can move on their own, but includes a suit which someone can get into and control the limbs. The job description reads: "This spring we are looking for those in need of a fresh adventure, willing to take on the bear necessities of life and help us create complete pandamonium at the resort.

"To be part of this bamboozling opportunity, applicants must be able to sit around and act lazy for the majority of the day, have their every need pandered to, have a keen interest in wildlife and enjoy being admired for several hours a day." A Chessington World of Adventures spokesman said: "The cryptic job opportunity is to search for people to become our pandas … arguably the greatest job in the world."
