 Panda pair's great escape! Nov. 10: A pair of pandas seem to plan their escape as one panda distracts a zookeeper while the other slips through their enclosure's door. Msnbc.com's Dara Brown has the story. |
BEIJING - A college student in southern China just needed a hug, but he probably shouldn't have picked a panda for his warm and fuzzy moment.
Instead of a hug, the panda bit the student after he broke into the animal's zoo enclosure.
A park employee said the student was visiting the zoo with classmates when he jumped the 6.5-foot-high fence around the panda's habitat.
The park was virtually deserted at the time.
The employee said the student was bitten in the arms and legs by the panda, named Yang Yang. Two foreign visitors who saw the attack ran to get help.
The official Xinhua News Agency reports the hospitalized student later said the panda was so cute and cuddly he never expected to be bitten.
