The National Zoo got a new male red panda, Tate, from the Cape May Zoo in New Jersey over the weekend. They've already introduced him to Shama, the Zoo's female red panda, and he reportedly "immediately exhibited breeding behavior." Tate, it seems, is something of a ladies man. A bow-chicka-bow-wow from DCist to you, sir.

The Zoo notes that a birth for this pair would be a big deal, since red pandas are endangered and breed only once a year. Let's hope they have better luck than the Zoo's other kind of pandas at managing "competent mating."

cousin of yours?
Not if you consent, you red-furred whore.
those pandas have JBF fur. they should be smoking post-shag cigarettes.
Tate is a stud!
uh, anybody remember how the zoo killed their last red pandas with rat poison???
Have you ever seen Takashi Miike's film "Audition?"
Cherchez la femme.
Yes, I remember. The zoo killed a few animals that year.

The deaths of the red pandas and other animals were over 5 years ago and the zoo seems to have resolved the problems that led to them. Shama and Wicket survived over a year so I have great hopes for Shama and Tate.
I can't believe no one has used the phrase "hot panda sex" yet. I tried to get some panda porn photos on Saturday but they move around too fast.
uh, everybody remembers how the Confederacy and the Union fought and killed over 630,000 people ... right??????
Is that a red panda in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Politically speaking, all pandas are red given their country of origin. Not that we Yanks should talk - a few more of these 'spendulus' bills and we can all claim ownership over the means of production. Am I right comrades?
Yeah, yeah...pandas are cute no matter the color and animal mating is funny, but more importantly how the hell does Cape May, NJ have its own zoo?
never thought about that. gotta assume this was an upgrade for the panda.
it's actually a very nice zoo.
at least, from what i can remember as an 8 year old.
OMG! (in the immortal words of LNS) Tate is a turbo??? Whoa!
Somebody call the F*ck You, Penguin guy on these red horndog sumbitches. Somebody needs to tell these filthy bastards what's what.
i hope the nat'l zoo red pandas are happier than the ones at the bronx zoo. i saw them last year and it was depressing. one was just sitting in the tree staring at nothing, and the other was walking around aimlessly inside their enclosure. i think they need to give them some prozac or something.
What a pair of cuties! Nice to see something good in DC.
looks like the post is on the case now...
