The 'couple' were placed in separate enclosures last year but were eventually reunited.
Changmao has not been faithful to Chunzi - he has fathered a baby lamb with the zoo's only female sheep.

Professor Xu Linmu, an animal researcher from the park, told Xinhua that the pair will not produce offspring.
"Spotted deer are cervid while sheep are bovid. Only those belonging to the same category may have cubs, such as tiger and lion, which are both feline," he said.
500 tickets at 66 yuan ($10; £6.60) were issued for the event.
