With only 1600 Giant Pandas thought to be left in existence today, officials at the Wulong Nature Reserve, in southwestern China, understood just how important it is to do everything they could to help their captive pair of pandas successfully mate. At first, they considered bringing in artificial insemination 'expert' Rebecca Loos, to lend a helping hand, but that idea was quickly shelved when they discovered that she charges by the hour, and with this species, notorious for their low rate of fertility, that could have ended up costing them a small fortune!
Funny Weird News - Giant Pandas shown porn videos to teach them how to mate
Photo 1: Ping Ping shows Leilei some of his best moves that he learnt from watching the 70s classic 'Behind the Green Door"
Photo 2: It that it! Don't tell me this is what all the fuss was about?
The problem, it appears, was that Ping Ping, the 14 year old male and his potential conquest ,the lovely Leilei, (didn't Eric Clapton write a song about her?), had lived their entire lives in captivity and had hence, never learnt the necessary mating rituals from other pandas. (A bit like a panda version of 'The Blue Lagoon').
Luckily, zoo officials had a spark of inspiration and came up with the bright idea of showing them panda porn videos in order to get them in the mood and educate them on the finer details of courtship.
But at first, things didn't quite go to plan. The TV screens were erected in their enclosure and the animals received two viewing per day, but due to a miscommunication, the pair were shown the 70s classic, "Behind the Green Door", (highly recommended by the guys here at the Daily Happy Pill), rather than the intended nature video of pandas mating.
The classic porn-flick, shot in the "no-condom" pre-AIDS days of the early seventies, certainly caught the attention of old Ping Ping as he carefully studied the TV screens for tips. Eventually, the big moment that the zoo keepers had been waiting for finally arrived as Ping Ping mounted Leilei and began to get jiggy with it.
But each time disaster would strike! Unfortunately, it appeared that Ping Ping had been watching the male actors in the movie a little too closely because every time the crucial moment approached, he would pull out and cum all over her tits!
The problem was eventually solved by replacing the movie by something from the Discovery Channel and a few months later a cute little baby panda arrived on the scene to the delight of animal lovers everywhere. (Don't you just love happy endings?)
