OK , Christine and I are still days behind in our Olympics coverage so this might be old news by now , but according to the fetching young lad on NBC , I think his name is Mary Carillo , panda experts in China actually show male pandas " panda porn " to get them in the mood ! Crazy , huh ? And just in case we doubted the veracity of these reports , NBC actually showed us footage of a horny panda pacing back and forth in his cage while some juicy " panda porn " played on a TV nearby . Hilarious !

Question: What causes the zoo to show this ' panda porn ' to the pandas ?
Answer: They are conducting a research study on reproductive tendencies in pandasThey are selling tickets to the exhibit and are trying to get the word outThey are working with NBC to create a reality show about the subjectThey are trying to influence their mating habits to produce offspring
