A Thai zoo has planned a ‘human-like way’ to encourage its two pandas ‘ living here for four years — to breed in captivity. It is next month; the officials will play “porn” videos for the six-year-old male panda — Chuang Chuang — who doesn’t know how to mate!
The pair has been living chastely together at the zoo since 2003 after their arriving from China in the northern city of Chiang Mai. According to panda project chief Prasertsak Buntrakoonpoontawee, the couple would be separated in December, but stay close enough for occasional glimpses of each other.
Prasertsak, hoping Chuang Chuang would then use the techniques on Lin Hui, a five-year-old female said,
They don’t know how to mate so we need to show the male how, through videos’ We’ll play the video at the most comfortable and intimate time for him, perhaps after dinner.
Once successful, these innovative and interesting methods might be used to make threatened or endangered species breed in future!
