Taiwan Panda Keepers Seek Love Doc's Advice

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, expert counsels

Share

(Newser) – Ahead of breeding season in February, the Taipei Zoo is soliciting expert advice for getting its two giant pandas in the mood. A researcher dispatched from their native China found Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan—presented last year as a symbol of thawing relations between the countries—just a little too chummy, reports the AP. His prescription: some alone time.

"They may have more interest toward each other after a brief separation," he said.

A secluded weekend for two in the Bahamas should do the trick. Reply
