Satellites to monitor panda sex
Scientists in China plan to use satellites to track pandas to learn more about their sexual behaviour.

A Chinese-US project will use Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites to monitor panda movements in a reserve in remote Shaanxi province.

It is part of an attempt to understand the panda's poor breeding record.

"Tracking them with advanced technology and observing their sex activities might help us find ways to avoid their extinction," an official said.

Wei Fuwen, from the China Academy of Sciences' Institute of Zoology, said pandas living in the wild were inaccessible for long periods of time.

"Traditional observation cannot unravel the ecological mystery of the animals," he told the official Xinhua news agency.

China's scientists have come up with a series of more or less surprising ideas for improving panda reproduction, including showing them sex education videos.

Despite such efforts, the animal remains endangered.

China last year said there were an estimated 1,600 of the creatures left in the wild, 40% more than previous figures suggested.

A further 161 pandas were reported to be living in captivity.

Paris Hilton is one place I wouldn't want to be even if I were dead... ><

And there are two reasons why the pandas aren't getting any. Either the male panda isn't enough of an asshole, or the female panda just isn't attractive enough.

Though it's gotta suck to be told quite literally "I wouldn't sleep with you if you were the last panda on earth!"

I think the pandas are just stupid.

Perhaps it's because Pandas can't talk. A good relationship requires communication. That and cheesy pick-up lines.

"Would you like to nibble on MY bamboo shoot?"

"Not all of me is black and white, you know."

"I may not have a tail, but I think you can still get some."

That's all I can think of.

Well, I guess they should invent panda translators instead of panda pr0n.

Pandas Pr0n!!!???
This is a weird worlds...
P.E.T.A. and Greenpeace must be angry

[SimeSublime]

PETA are angry about anything. Bloody trouble makers. Last I heard they're trying to get people to boycott Australian wool because the sheep are 'dagged'. Sure, it's a rather disgusting procedure, but it would be a lot worse if they weren't.
