Panda porn plan
A zoo in Thailand will show porn videos to a six-year-old male panda in an attempt to inspire him to mate with the zoo’s five-year-old female.
Thetwo pandas have been living together without mating since they arrived from China in 2003.
“They don’t know how to mate so we need to show the male how, through videos,” panda project chief Prasertsak Buntrakoonpoontawee told Reuters.
He said Chuang Chuang, the male, would be played videos on a large screen when he might be in the mood.
“We’ll play the video at the most comfortable and intimate time for him, perhaps after dinner,” Prasertsak said. The zoo hopes that Chuang Chuang would be able to use the techniques on Lin Hui, a five-year-old female.
Here’s hoping that Chuang Chuang doesn’t end up with fur on his paw.

Again, this begs the question: What is “porn” for animals? Is it simply raw footage of mating animals? Or is it actually staged, edited, and sensationalized like human porn? To me, “pornography” involves an element of performance or at least acknowledging the camera. I once saw turtles mating at the zoo, but I’d hardly call that “porn.” I can’t equate sex with pornography; one is necessary to the existence of all animal life on earth and the other is not.

Can you be sure it was the real thing?.
Or just a ruse to fool some passing human voyeur.
Such scant details - how can one decide.
also did you witness any foreplay?…if so,of what form did this take?.
