Some new species-specific software is helping the threatened animals find their perfect mates. Breeding pandas in captivity is a tricky business, so experts designed the software to help pair pandas from zoos across the globe using their health and bloodlines as matchmaking criteria. But it's certainly more fun to think of what a panda personal would look like: Single black and white male in search of endangered female for short-term relationship. Must want cubs, enjoy long strolls in an enclosure and love bamboo. No smokers. Are you the one?
