In the era of casual hookups and "hotline blings," pandas are looking for something a little more special when it comes to mating.

But even if a panda had a crush on a romantically ambivalent panda, they still had better odds of producing a cub than in an arranged mating scenario.

And it doesn't help that female pandas only have a fertility window of 24 to 36 hours a year.
But if a boy panda can find that one special girl panda, we might be seeing more of them.
