Rare footage of pandas mating at Vienna zoo

Posted

Two giant pandas were caught on film mating several times -- a rare event in captivity for one of the world's most endangered species. Mating season for pandas, known for their low libido, is once a year, with females only able to conceive for two or three days, making reproduction difficult. The zoo said animal keepers had noticed the signs between Yang Yang and Long Hui, usually loners outside the mating season, for about a week and let the bears "get together".
