CNN is reporting that officials at the China Giant Panda Breeding Center in Woolong, China are showing... err... panda pr0n to increase the sex drive of captive pandas. The program is apparently quite effective, as birth rates have risen dramatically."

  1. Animals can see TV? by TRACK-YOUR-POSITION · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Hmm. I would have thought that animals might have problems seeing human TV. We've selected Red, Green, and Blue as ideal TV colors because those are the three kinds of, um, eye-thingies we have. In our eyes. You know.

    I would have expected animals to see the colors of TV screens as completely different from the ways we see them. Do pandas have the same color perception humans do, or do they just have the ability to perceive mis-colored pandas as still being panda (and therefore sexy...)
