Oh the pandamanity!
"Zoo staff carefully observed each mating and, because satisfactory mating did not occur, Zoo scientists and veterinarians performed a nonsurgical artificial insemination Wednesday morning. Both pandas were anesthetized, allowing Zoo scientists to collect sperm from Tian Tian and insert it directly into Mei Xiang's uterus. ... Giant pandas have one very brief breeding season per year, with only a day or two of actual mating." Giant Panda Mating Season At National Zoo
Let's review. All year long you wait for a couple of days.... a couple of days... when you can get it on with your cute, furry loved one. Finally.... finally... the days arrive! What happens? You've got a bunch of crazed vets and God knows who else on the "zoo staff" hovering around 24/7 "carefully" observing every move you make with your honey. Is it any wonder things are not going to get going? I think not. You better bet there's going to be a few malfunctions along the way.
Then they knock you out.... they knock both of you out.... and perform alien sperm extraction rituals on you. Then they get to work on your woman!
If I were a giant panda, I'd be looking to knaw on some Zoo staff skull the first chance I get.
