Zoo Hopes Panda Porn Will Help Species

CHIANG MAI, Thailand -- Zoo keepers hope panda porn will get Chuang Chuang in the mood.

The furry guy is spending his days in front of a big screen TV showing scenes of pandas mating.

Officials at the Chiang Mai Zoo in northern Thailand are also putting Chuang Chuang on a diet. They fear he may be too hefty to make whoopie.

Chuang Chuang will be reunited with his partner in about a week. The zoo has kept them apart for months in hopes that sparks will fly when they get back together.
