Giant panda Ai Hin, not pictured, may have faked her own pregnancy

The planned first ever live-broadcast of a panda giving birth has been cancelled amid claims the expectant mother faked her pregnancy.

Giant panda Ai Hin may have tricked staff at a breeding centre in China to receive more pampering and extra food rations, according to AFP.

The six-year-old had shown signs of pregnancy last month, according to staff at the Chengdu Breeding Research Centre, in China's southwestern province of Sichuana.

But shortly after being moved to a single room with air conditioning and around-the-clock care her “behaviour and physiological indexes returned to normal”.

Experts believe Ai Hin was enjoying the extra attention and additional treats before staff realised she wasn’t actually pregnant.

Yup, a Democrat through and through. :fuelfire:

What a smart panda. It's not unusual in the animal world for the females to go through a fake pregnancy. Even turtles do it. They actually keep statistics on "false crawls" down here in Florida. It's when the turtles crawl up on the beach, but don't lay eggs and turn around and go back out into the water.

I am 100% sure on of them is my ex-wife.
