CHENGDU, China, Dec. 16 (UPI) — A Chinese panda breeding expert said "panda porn" videos have proven useful in convincing giant pandas of both genders to breed.

Huang Mingxiang of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in China's southwestern Sichuan province said male pandas are often shown videos of giant pandas breeding because they have not had the chance to see members of their species have sex in the wild and often show little interest in their appointed mates, China's state-run Xinhua News Agency reported Monday.
