Sex films help panda get pregnant
A Chinese project to screen videos of pandas mating to captive animals seems to be bearing fruit, with news that a four-year-old panda is pregnant.
Hua Mei, who was born in the US but moved to China in February, was shown the videos as preparation for a series of "blind dates", the China Daily said.
The female was shown the videos because experts feared she had little knowledge of mating after living in captivity.
Pandas rarely breed in captivity and are endangered in the wild.
