Man Bites Panda, Says its Chewy

A Chinese man chugs some beer and wants to get all huggy and kissy with a Panda. He jumps into the Panda enclosure and the Panda bites the drunk Chinaman in the leg. Okay, so maybe Pandas do have teeth and know how to use them. I still think I would totally dominate a Panda in a fight to the death.

This hilarious story comes from the AP here:

Zhang Xinyan, from the central province of Henan, drank four jugs of beer at a restaurant near the zoo before visiting Gu Gu the panda on Tuesday, the Beijing Morning Post said.

“He felt a sudden urge to touch the panda with his hand,” and jumped into the enclosure, the newspaper said.

The panda, who was asleep, was startled and bit Zhang, 35, on the right leg, it said. Zhang got angry and kicked the panda, who then bit his other leg. A tussle ensued, the paper said.

“I bit the fellow in the back,” Zhang was quoted as saying in the newspaper. “Its skin was quite thick.”

Other tourists yelled for a zookeeper, who got the panda under control by spraying it with water, reports said. Zhang was hospitalized.

“No one ever said they would bite people,” Zhang said. “I just wanted to touch it. I was so dizzy from the beer. I don’t remember much.”
