[quote]THE doors to the outside world were closed, the lights dimmed. Video cameras angled down from multiple locations, and a couple dozen onlookers watched intently.
The two giant pandas at the National Zoo were about to have their first date in a year. And since the female, Mei Xiang, is only fertile for a couple of days annually, their mating ritual was closely monitored in the hopes that she and longtime mate Tian Tian would produce a cub come spring.
'That is the beauty of the panda breeding season. Everything happens in two or three days but it is always extremely intense,' said Pierre Comizzoli, a reproductive physiologist at the National Zoo in the US capital, Washington.
Mei Xiang began making sounds that zoo keepers recognised as fertility calls about two weeks ago, indicating that the time was near.
An expert from China, Tang Chunxiang from the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Wolong, flew in to consult with the US-based team in late January.
Finally, over the weekend, the two bears who spend nearly every other day of the year in separate spaces were allowed to get close to each other. Scientists monitored Mei Xian's hormone levels, veterinarians were at the ready in case the sexual tension turned violent, and behaviour specialists watched for signs that 'something is happening naturally,' said Mr Comizzoli[/quote]

You made me think of Anchorman.
Tian Tian's going to pussy out at the last second, I know it.
Imagine a premature ejaculation.
Stupid pandas who wont fuck to save their species.
They can only mate a few days of the year, and their species is endangered. People have made special arrangements so that they can reproduce.
But they're just chilling out and eating donuts.
Fuck pandas.
Aphrodisiac donuts!
why is everyone so desperate to save this cul-de-sac of evolution?

Because Panda's are cute.
Wait a second, do Pandas even have a niche in their environment?

Pandas are bears, why do they eat twigs and shit?
Because they are dumb-asses they should be eating meat but they don't for some reason. They get like no good nutrition from eating bamboo that's why they eat so much.

They don't even eat the most nutritious part of the bamboo.
It's like they [I]want[/I] to die.
I came in expecting hot hardcore panda porn.

Yes, their extinction is caused by humans mostly, not their environment.
[quote] US capital, Washington[/quote]
That's not the US capital! Washington D.C. is, Washington is a fucking state. That's like if I said England was the capital of the UK.
We should create Panda-Rabbit hybrids.

Fake, an animal would not be bothered to use a spoon, and most quadrupeds don't like sitting on their bottoms.
Pandas are such evolutionary failures. If they can't even be bothered to have sex under prime conditions then the fuckers deserve to be extinct.
we should really just let pandas die. We've been keeping them alive far too long and they don't deserve it as a species.
