I’ll be honest with ya, I need to let these two speak for themselves.  Y’know, eventually.  They’re gonna need air at some point.  But all this twitterpating gets me emblushified.

Via Reuters; seen on Thursday’s Yahoo News.  Click the pic for videeyohh.

I wondered how long it would take to see this posted here… that is SO adorable!

…I can’t help but wonder, though, whether it’s not a case of one sloppy-eatin’ panda and another with a big appetite and no shame about where dessert comes from.

8 jen 11.02.07 at 4:39 pm

9 WannaSmile 11.02.07 at 4:44 pm

I loves it.

10 sunnymum 11.02.07 at 4:48 pm

Best comment on vid “watching them kiss heals my heart.” Awwwwwwwww!

11 Sara 11.02.07 at 4:52 pm

I got pandas in the living room, gettin it on, and they ain’t leavin till six in the mornin!

12 Pheas 11.02.07 at 5:00 pm

“Pandering”? Groan.

13 jenB 11.02.07 at 5:03 pm

VERY cute. But, they have the same name? We have two at the zoo here. No making out as far as I know. :-)

14 Michelle 11.02.07 at 5:24 pm

My dogs used to make out like that. Sometimes for 10 or 15 minutes straight. Or not so straight, since they were both girls.

cute!

15 Rob Coover 11.02.07 at 5:26 pm

I’m disturbed that the Reuters reporter said that the red panda and the giant panda were cousins. After genetic testing, it turned out the giant panda actually was a bear all along, not a raccoon.

16 Kaye 11.02.07 at 5:26 pm

That announcer threw out more puns than most regulars I see commenting at CO. And that’s saying something!

Also..at about 1 minute in: Red panda dangling paw! Could it GET any cuter?!

17 Rob Coover 11.02.07 at 5:27 pm

The raccoon/bear thing doesn’t do anything to detract from the cuteness, of course!

18 Kimberly 11.02.07 at 5:30 pm

Red Pandas are the best! They are so cute. Especially kissing pandas!

I volunteered at a zoo when I was younger and I got to work at the Red Panda area where they had two week old baby Red Pandas in an incubator. Their eyes were closed and they just squirmmed around. SSOO cute!

19 jen 11.02.07 at 5:39 pm

“Boing! Boing! Boing!”
“Smooch. Smooch. Smooch.”
What could be next, next, next?
(“Otters! Otters! Otters!”?)

22 master_of_fm 11.02.07 at 6:12 pm

not sure which is worse, being caught looking at cuteoverload by a co-worker or the having them walk in during the bra add that played before the clip (male btw).

[LOL! Quick, click back to the previous post! - Ed.]

23 Space Cowgirl 11.02.07 at 6:37 pm

Sara? I love you.

24 Alicia 11.02.07 at 6:40 pm

Aww! So cute. I’m glad this was posted.

25 Mia 11.02.07 at 7:15 pm

Aww I love how they don’t only kiss during mating season. They suggested it was because after years, they have lub for each other :) )))

26 Mimi 11.02.07 at 8:00 pm

So sweet! Nice Bambi reference Theo!

[Wow, the gold stars are flyin' out the door today! - Ed.]

27 LuvBJones 11.02.07 at 8:32 pm

Krikey, this is 2 jots away from being a fetish tape! Give those two a room!

28 Melissa 11.02.07 at 8:37 pm

All I get are commercials. :(

[Yahoo does make you sit through one. It should only last 30 seconds, though; then there's a delay, and THEN the actual Reuters clip starts. - Ed.]

29 Juniper Jupiter 11.02.07 at 8:43 pm

Awwww, yeaah!! All you need now, baby, is some porn music(wukka chicka wukka chicka)…This is WAY too cute!! Melissa, honey, after the commercial, try hittin’ PLAY again. That might work for ya! ;)

30 musicchick2 11.02.07 at 8:57 pm

OOOOooo!! Kissy Kissy Cuties!! And what beautiful little animals they are too! ::ded from the Qte::

31 RevWaldo 11.02.07 at 9:18 pm

Sure hope the black-and-white pandas are paying attention!

I remember a comedian talking about pandas – “They’re too lazy to #!%#! themselves out of extinction! The problem is they take one look at each other and go ‘Aw, lets just cuddle…’ (Girls love me when I tell that joke.) ” ^_^

32 carmen 11.02.07 at 9:18 pm

omg!!! This so made my day. I love red pandas!!!!!

33 Cathy 11.02.07 at 9:30 pm

I can’t get the video to play. Does anyone have another link to it? Is it from youtube? Thanks

34 Theo 11.02.07 at 9:44 pm

Cathy — it’s actually straight from Reuters via Yahoo. On my PC it uses Windows Media Player… and I have to sit through the commercial first.

There might be an option for an alternative like RealPlayer, but now I’m only guessing. Sorry; I would’ve uploaded it to CuteCast if I could’ve figured out how.

35 Mimi 11.02.07 at 10:13 pm

Awww shucks, Theo *blushes* thanks for my gold star!

36 bleugeu 11.02.07 at 10:14 pm

Cutest thing EVAR in Japan? Shocking.

37 book_monstercats 11.02.07 at 10:39 pm

“Twitterpated”. I know I’ve heard it or something like it before, but where? It’s 22.40 over here in the good old UK and I’ll lying awake all night now.

38 book_monstercats 11.02.07 at 10:41 pm

… or even “I’ll be lying awake all night now”

39 K 11.02.07 at 10:58 pm

Twitterpated’s from the movie Bambie :-D

40 Cathy 11.02.07 at 11:20 pm

Thanks, Theo. I think I might’ve found it on youtube.com. I don’t know why I can’t play videos on Yahoo anymore. It just stopped.

41 Juli 11.02.07 at 11:46 pm

Emblushified! My new favorite word!

42 tablemountaingirl 11.03.07 at 12:09 am

What? No “I shall leeck you?” category????

[Wups! Fixted now... - Ed.]

43 Mary (the first) 11.03.07 at 12:25 am

the best part was “cubless but still trying” awwwwww (although if they think kissing is how they get cubs . er . that only happens to highschoolers..)

44 Sara 11.03.07 at 12:43 am

Thanks, Mom. *bows* I find that Snoop Dogg is appropriate in every situation!

45 Jen 11.03.07 at 12:53 am

Monstercat..it was that movie..from Canada..the guy who worked for the lottery… who had a friend that sold weed..and there was that con artist who wanted him to help launder money…”are you feeling all twitterpated?”

46 pandasocks 11.03.07 at 12:56 am

Aww. I do love red pandas! :) BTW, video doesn’t work in Opera, if any of you are using it.

~Meg~

47 I Hate Commercials 11.03.07 at 1:17 am

OK, video I am sure is cute, but by principle, I REFUSE to watch ANYTHING that forces you to watch a stupid commercial BEFORE you watch the video on the INTERNET. Next time – link it to YOU TUBE.

48 Yitzysmommie 11.03.07 at 1:24 am

Red Panda Pron!!! Wow. Who knew?

49 cutefolio 11.03.07 at 1:57 am

that is really cute!

50 Lisa 11.03.07 at 2:01 am

Theo! Oh. Mah. Gah. This is the second time in my life I ever heard (saw?) the term “twitterpating”. The first was 20+ years ago when my date asked me “Do you twitterpate?” I had no idea what he meant, he was disgusted, and the evening ended in disappointment for us both. I think you’ve given me a flashback.

51 Kar 11.03.07 at 2:12 am

That’s it. We have hit the maximum of cuteness.

I don’t see how we top wild animals who kiss/lick each other for an hour a day.

Seriously, even for the Japanese, this is cuteness to an unbelievable level.

52 Theresa 11.03.07 at 2:50 am

Ask your doctor if smooching pandas are right for you.

53 Theresa 11.03.07 at 2:51 am

While you’re at it, you might ask if twitterpating is right for you, too.

54 Hon Glad 11.03.07 at 2:53 pm

There is also addlepated clod pole in Jennings books.

55 NYgirly 11.03.07 at 3:02 pm

these guys remind me of Hayao Miyazaki’s POM POKO ^^

56 book_monstercats 11.03.07 at 4:27 pm

Thanks, all, for the “twitterpated” reference. Huge relief. Lisa, I think you had a narrow escape there!

57 AuntieMame 11.03.07 at 4:48 pm

Kissing? Or maybe their newest flavor of lip gloss is really yummy.

58 Anonymous 11.03.07 at 6:28 pm

Aw, I can’t see it either – I get the commercial, then nothing :-(

I tried to watch another yahoo video the other day, same result. Both times on a Mac using Safari.

:-( :-(

59 Another Angela 11.04.07 at 3:36 am

Will other zoos stoop to putting peanut butter on their red pandas’ lipses? Am I weird for suddenly wanting to be a zookeeper in Japan? Very cute.

60 Baleigh 11.04.07 at 6:51 pm

awwwwwwwwwww!!how cute!!!

61 Subhangi 11.05.07 at 3:35 am

Too adorable, but I can’t see them kees … :(

The video plays jerkily for me. Boo.

62 Kara 11.05.07 at 4:58 pm

Oh, goodness. What crazy amounts of PDA (panda display of affection).

63 We 11.06.07 at 2:28 am

They really are cute you know, those red pandas.

Save the pandas!
