Chinese police dog may teach pandas to fight

SHANGHAI -- Scientists in China may use a police dog to teach pandas to fight after the first artificially bred panda released into the wild was apparently killed after a battle with other animals, local media reported Saturday.

The Wolong giant panda breeding center plans to have four pandas raised in captivity live with a specially trained police dog or other animals, the Chengdu Daily quoted reserve officials as saying.

The pandas would learn how to protect themselves by observing the dog, increasing their chances of survival when they are eventually released into the mountainous wilds of Sichuan.
