Zoo to use porm videos to teach panda to mate
2006-11-11
A Thai zoo, which has hosted a couple of pandas for four years, will play "porn" videos for the male next month to encourage them to breed in captivity, the project manager said on Saturday.

The pair -- living chastely together at the zoo in the northern city of Chiang Mai since arriving from China in 2003 -- would be separated in December, but stay close enough for occasional glimpses of each other, said panda project chief Prasertsak Buntrakoonpoontawee. "They don't know how to mate so we need to show the male how, through videos," Prasertsak told Reuters.
If it were in the south, the zoo would have blown up.

He said Chuang Chuang, the six-year-old male, would be shown the videos on a large screen when he might be feeling amorous. "We'll play the video at the most comfortable and intimate time for him, perhaps after dinner," Prasertsak said, hoping Chuang Chuang would then use the techniques on Lin Hui, a five-year-old female.

The zoo is hosting a four-day international sexual harassment panda conference that starts on Monday, drawing 200 wildlife and panda specialists from around the world.

#3  Zoo people have to go to great lengths to get some critters to mate. Viagra was a godsend, in that it works on almost all mammals.

However, a lot of them are responsive to video porn, which particularly affects primates.

For cheetahs and other big cats, it was discovered that several types of perfume get them stimulated. I gather a cheetah handler was rather shocked when one day the cats came running. Which soon turned into something of a cheetah orgy.

#2  Btw, are pandas even able to recognize images shown in a tv screen (IE to go from 2D to actual represention)?
