Cats and Birds information on net.

The Chinese government in Beijing has employed all sorts of efforts to get human families to limit their offspring, including application of severe penalties to families that have more than one child. But when it comes to the tigers of southern China and the country's unofficial mascot, the giant panda, government policy is just the opposite.

Ten zoos throughout the country contain a total of only 49 south China tigers among their denizens, and experts fear that the cat will become extinct. For whatever reason, the tigers have no urge to mate. So officials at a zoo in Sichuan province have authorized the medicating with Viagra of two male south China tigers that show "no sexual desire" at all, according to a dispatch from Reuters.

The hope is that the disinterested big cats will become "tigers" in more than one sense of the word and sire many litters of their species. Interestingly, for officials in a communist country, the experts speculate that restrictive life in a cage is one of the causes of the tigers' impotence.

Scientists also are considering giving Viagra to China's giant pandas, animals also famous for disinterest in sexual activity. Thus far this amorous encouragement of the species has been limited to showing them videos of pandas in the act of mating, a kind of panda porn that has not excited paternity.
