Gee, how astonishing that an animal would defend its terrority from an intruder. Too bad they don't have to test the gentleman in question for rabies (the way they have to test animals the bite people); that would ensure that at least one idiot didn't bother apanda again.

Must have had a cuddly panda toy as a kid.

Or he's seen clips of people with BABY pandas. Even the NZ keepers don't go into the same space with a non-sedated adult panda.

Cnn has a little more details:

He got angry and kicked the panda after it bit his one leg - then it bit his other. Go Gu Gu!

"Newspaper photographs showed Zhang lying on a hospital bed with blood-soaked bandages and several seams of stitches running down his leg." They have VERY powerful jaws - all that pudginess around their mouths? It's all muscle!!

I think he's learned his lesson.
