No One Told Him Pandas Could Bite

[Katana]

A man in China got drunk, jumped into the panda pen, got bit, bit back, and whined that no one ever said that a panda would bite.

The newspaper said Mr Zhang had a "sudden urge" to touch Gu Gu with his hand, so he jumped over the waist-high railing into the enclosure.

"When he got closer and was undiscovered, he reached out to hug it," the newspaper added.

Mr Zhang was bitten first on his right leg, and then on his left.

Newspaper photographs showed him lying on a hospital bed with blood-soaked bandages over his legs.

"I bit the panda on its back but its fur was too thick," Mr Zhang recalled.

He went on: "No one ever said they would bite people. I just wanted to touch it."

I'm actually quite surprised that the zoo's representative said that they weren't considering punishment, although they did add a "yet" to that comment. We'll see.

Going through life drunk and stupid and with Panda bite marks should be punishment enough for this guy. I like that he bit back. So atavistic!

If pandas can eat bamboo, I'm sure it has a pretty nasty bite.

What do you mean? I eat bamboo all the time.

But then again, I have a pretty nasty bite too.
