Panda is too heavy to have sex (Weird But True)

Thai zookeepers are hoping a low-carb diet will get an overweight panda in the mood to mate.

Chuang Chuang, a 330- pound panda, is too heavy to have sex with 253- pound Lin Hui, caretakers said. So they created a special diet for Chuang Chuang - replacing loaves of bread with low-fat bamboo branches.

Zookeepers had planned to show the pair "panda porn" - instructional videos on mating techniques - but dropped that idea after research proved that not all pandas respond to the images.
