So I just following the link all the way to the Live Pandacam and the momma and baby are curled up sleeping...before I thought about it I stated clicking it like I was trying to knock on the glass to wake them up...I would totally get thrown out of the zoo.
This kinda sucks. Pandas are only able to get pregnant at one time every year. Baby pandas are so valuable because of the limited numbers of pandas left.
Did anyone watch "Glee" last night? This reminds of the preview of the season when the doctor tells the wife she's not pregnant and she replies, "Did it fall out?"
I went to the Zoo this weekend to check things out. And let me tell you, she is such a typical celebrity. First she fakes a pregnancy for attention, now it appears she's crash dieting on Alli, either that or using LiLo's fake tanner. That was one dirty-assed panda.
"Pandas' problems come from their basic refusal to act like real bears. First of all, real bears like to mate. Brown bears, black bears, and polar bears are all famous for their robust drive to procreate. Not so pandas. It's just very low on their list of priorities. In addition, real bears eat what they're supposed to. Again, not so with pandas. Even though they have the digestive tract of a carnivore and cannot digest cellulose effectively, they insist on keeping to a diet that is 90 percent bamboo. This means that they have to feed constantly, subtracting from time that could otherwise be spent not mating. In fact, it is entirely likely that pandas don't ever mate because they don't have enough energy after long days of eating their really inefficient food source.
In the spirit of all the Jennifer Aniston tabloid coverage, I'm sure we'll soon be hearing about "Mei Xiang bump watch!! Mei Xiang to adopt twins!! Mei Xiang betrayed because her best friend called Brad Pitt!!1!"
@mysterygirl: Whenever I see it on the channel guide, I have to flip past. It freaks me out too much. My brain cannot accept that. If I watched it, I would end up taking a pregnancy test every month. Even on my period. Even while not getting laid.

Also, they're legally blind."

Actually, I wonder if living in captivity makes them lose touch with their own bodies and natural processes?
