Giant panda fakes pregnancy to earn extra food and air-conditioned room

Giant panda fakes pregnancy to earn extra food and air-conditioned room

After observing her for two months, they decided that she was faking her condition because she had learned that expectant pandas at the centre were likely to receive preferential treatment.

‘After showing prenatal signs, the ‘mothers-to-be’ are moved into single rooms with air conditioning and around-the-clock care,’ giant panda expert Wu Kongju told news agency Xinhua.

‘They also receive more buns, fruits and bamboo, so some clever pandas have used this to their advantage to improve their quality of life.’
