Besides garnering attention for being cute and cuddly, pandas have now found Internet fame with a recent marathon session. Chinese giant panda Lu Lu and his partner Zhen Zhen bumped uglies for an impressive seven minutes and 45 seconds which is allegedly 83 per cent longer than their average panda timing.
Lu Lu has been nicknamed 'The Enduring Brother' – for his record-breaking love-making at the Sichuan Giant Panda Research Centre. According to Daily Mail, the pair were pitted against another couple of pandas, Yi Bao and Jin Xin, who only managed one minute and 20 seconds of love-making.
Breeders said they watch the creatures having sex so they can understand their mating habits, and encourage them to reproduce in the future.They use poles made of bamboo to guide the pandas towards each other, when they have tracked when the pandas are in the amorous mood. The female of the species are prone to making loud and strange noises, while male pandas leave traces of their scent to attract the opposite sex.
A video of their sexual antics means that 'stud' Lu Lu is now the talk of China, says The People's Daily.
