Since there are 3,000 or fewer pandas in the entire world, scientists determined to save the species are trying almost everything, including "panda porn," according to the Associated Press.
Exposing "uninitiated" male pandas to DVD movies of other, more hip, pandas getting it on is proving to be a good idea, according to the AP, which quoted Zhang Zhihe, a Chinese panda expert, as saying "it works."
Supposedly, it's the sounds the mating animals make, more than the visuals, that do the trick. Whatever the cause, the results are encouraging. The AP said 31 cubs were born in the first 10 months of 2006 and 14 of them came from natural breeding. There were only 12 births in 2005 and just nine in 2000.
One of the tricky parts is finding the best time to dim the lights and pop in the dirty discs, since female pandas get in the mood only 48 hours each year, according to the AP
