Media circus in a panda prison

Last year’s media hype surrounding the mating habits of two pandas has once again rekindled. The media today (31st March) is reporting that Tian Tian’s ‘window of receptivity’ is approaching, and that her hormone levels will be monitored constantly to try to ensure another animal is born in captivity. Tian Tian and Yang Guang are rented out by the Chinese government to Edinburgh Zoo on a 10-year contract.
