Panda Porn Perfectly Prompts Panda Pregnancies!

Happy Thanksgiving indeed! Researchers say that two-year old trick of showing pandas DVDs of pandas properly mating has really helped the lovable creatures successfully mate. From the AP:

It is one of many techniques tried over the decades to get captive pandas — notoriously poor breeders — to do it, and do it right. The efforts to understand and simulate conditions for mating and raising cubs have paid off in China, the panda’s native habitat. Now comes the next test: getting the magic to work outside China.

The big day will come in January, when Prasertsak Buntragulpoontawee hopes to bring off a successful mating between male Chuang Chuang and partner Lin Hui in this northern Thailand city.

The audio-visual approach “is the same idea as chimpanzees seeing people smoke and then copying it,” says the Thai researcher.

Researchers actually cite a number of factors in helping captive pandas reproduce at record levels (31 births this year!), things like research into panda biology, nutrition and genetics.

We wonder if panda porn is taken from zoo tapes monitoring panda activity; we watched the DC pandas mate (unsuccessfully) back in 2003.

Do the panda porn tapes show them having a cigarette afterwards?

 

That panda porn is finger-Ling-Ling good...

 

I'm glad these clips promoted panda procreation. But I'm suprised they worked. If you look close enough you can clearly see this is simulated panda porn.

 

First of all, if they want it to be successful, they need to change it a bit. Here is my recommendation: Panda Porn

Secondly, great job on the alliteration. Thanks for putting in 100% effort on a holiday.

 

Damn! Did I miss the flix ? *Sighs*, *Ponders* "I missed the panda lustfest doing what responsible folk do . Wrok ! Damn !"
