Panda Porn and other ideas

Factual Questions
1

Well ok, I’m totally dry on panda porn ideas.

But why aren’t we artificially inseminating these ladies? Or having test tube panda babies?

These pandas are obviously “not in the mood” or else they’re very prudish and shy and don’t want the world to watch them procreate. So what do we do?

Which pandas are we talking about?

I’m talking about any pandas in captivity. It seems that getting them to mate and get pregnant is always a big chore…and just this week I heard on the news (I don’t have a cite) that they considered a new male panda a flop because he wouldn’t mate with the two females they’d provided him with.

I say, take the semen from the Panda, put it in the female…what’s the biggie? They do it with other animals all the time, don’t they?

Actually, they are using artificial insemination if necessary, but I think the researchers want to know as much about pandas as they can - which means they want to see pandas mating and what leads up to it. Perverts :wink:

There is an article in this month’s Smithsonian (don’t know if it’s on the news-stands yet) about the new pandas at the National Zoo and it talks some about pandas mating. They’re not old enough yet to be seeing panda porn <evil grin>. Here’s an intro to the article http://www.smithsonianmag.si.edu/smithsonian/issues01/apr01/panda.html

And there’s a link at the bottom of that page to another older article titled “The Rarest of the Rare” which also discusses the issues of breeding animals in captivity. In some animals, placing the semen inside the female isn’t enough and if you don’t know what else has to happen, the insemination won’t be successful.

Oh, Jarbabyj, I am so very disappointed.

You come up with “Panda Porn and other idea” and all you can come up with to put in the body is the scientifically dry idea of artificial insemination?

Have you looked at this page?

I got way too much information about panda sex there. From the description of male panda’s “equipment” and “sexual technique” I really feel sorry for the lady pandas.

I’m sorry, the size of a human thumb when fully erect? On a critter that size? Can you say “Is it in yet?”

And I thought this was about an underground Walter Lantz cartoon with Woody, Buzz and Andy.

PS to dumbasses: I’m not talking about Toy Story:smiley:

      • There was only a couple Giant Pandas in the US, and they borrowed one or two from China because the US ones wouldn’t mate - (or maybe they were the same sex, I don’t remember exactly) - but anyway, when they started doing it, it was a Really Big Deal. Videocameras were there, and it was shown on the evening news. Car crashes, Pandas boinking, and the weather report. I swear. - MC
