[Frown] That was a sad story. Normally I don't pay much attention to animal stories.

I feel so bad for the Mommy panda, wondering where the heck her baby went. So sad.

I wonder if this is the result of her inexperience, since she didn't get the mothering training she would have had in the wild. I know inexperienced dog mothers are more likely to hurt or neglect their puppies because they don't know what to do.

And I know it's not appropriate, but I still giggled at the thought of the panda date where the two pandas watched some panda porn before mating.
