a good scratch
My mom really loves watching the PandaCam. I checked in and was amused by this update from December 30th:
Update: "I did read this amusing post, then I had an interesting thought. You should know that rear end scratching does not increase a panda's cute-factor any more than it increases a husband's. Love Mom"
(I was unable to find a panda-rear-end-scratching photo to accompany this post. Submissions of panda-rear-end-scratching photos are welcome. Submissions of people in panda costumes engaged in rear-end-scratching are not).Tai Shan ... walked down the middle of the yard to the fallen limb to start off his two-hour play session. When it was time to go to sleep, he returned to the same limb, rubbed his rear end against it for a good scratch, and then fell fast asleep. Tai draped himself over the branch just like his dad. Tian Tian likes to hang out on a branch at the front of his yard, adjacent to Tai and Mei's yard. We sometimes see Tian engage in a good rear-end rubbing before going to sleep. It is hard to believe branches can be so comfortable. However, we can all identify with the relief of a good scratch.

After much time spent perusing panda photographs in an attempt to find the elusive "butt scratching" Kodak moment, I've come to three conclusions:
1. Any still photo which may or may not have captured a panda in mid scratch most likely appears as a photo of a panda simply sitting or leaning.
2. Were a panda to attempt a manual butt scratch, I am pretty sure the short arms and rotund body would all but make that impossible; thus, the lack of paw-to-butt photos.
3. I seriously need to lay off the panda porn.
