Who says pandas are hampered by low libido? At least one of the endangered bears went to great lengths to prove that he was in the mood for love.
A panda patrol at a national park in China¡¯s northwestern Sha¡¯anxi province spotted one panda chasing another in a forest. The larger animal, clearly a male, settled at the foot of a tree, to await the female who had clambered up to evade her unwanted suitor.
For seven days and nights neither animal stirred. But on the seventh day another male appeared and challenged the patient, would-be lover. They battled for 20 minutes, rolling down the hillside and becoming bloodied and battered, but the newcomer was beaten.
Liang Qihui, an expert, said: ¡°Pandas in love always fight very violently but you rarely see them. This was an astonishing chance.¡±
After two days the patrol returned to the tree. Ms Liang said: ¡°We found the female looking tender and obedient and the male looking pretty weak. So we judged that they had completed their beautiful moment.¡±
