BERLIN: Zookeepers at Berlin's primary animal park are hoping to treatment a tender female panda's addiction of walking backwards by means of introducing her to one in every of existence's most precious pleasures: sex.
They plan to introduce four-year-old Meng Meng to Jiao Qing, a panda three years her senior, within the hope that romance will assist her with the frustrations associated with existence in captivity that could be behind her addiction.
"Meng Meng is in puberty," Berlin Zoo director Andreas Knieriem told the Berliner Zeitung newspaper on Sunday. "The reverse walk is a protest against things she dislikes, be it the food or the carers."
China lent Meng Meng and Jiao Qing to Germany earlier this yr. The two bears are a big appeal at the zoo's $10-million Chinese compound inaugurated by means of Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Xi Jinping in July.
Giant pandas in captivity are kept apart with the exception of for within the mating season, which happens between February and May.
"By then, Meng Meng will have reached sexual maturity and could focus all her energy on seducing her partner," Knieriem stated.
