The story is a familiar one: a male settles into cosy domesticity and soon piles on the pounds. "This isn't the person I fell in love with," laments the female as her newly bulky partner lumbers towards her, physical affection on his mind.
The refrain is also, it seems, heard in the giant panda world, where excess weight has been identified as an obstacle preventing the notoriously sex-shy creatures from mating.
According to reports from Thailand, keepers at Chiang Mai Zoo, in the north of the country, have put Chuang Chuang on a diet in their latest attempt to get the male panda to mate with his companion, Lin Hui.
"Chuang Chuang is gaining weight too fast, and we found Lin Hui is no longer comfortable with having sex with him," the zoo's chief vet, Kanika Limtrakul, explained.
