"Panda bites student who wanted hug"

Not Meowth

Cat, are you drilling?
Saw this while checking my e-mail, had to share it. Wasn't sure whether or not to put this in You Laugh You Lose, but oh well...

A college student in southern China was bitten by a panda after he broke into the bear's enclosure hoping to get a hug, state media reported.

The student was visiting Qixing Park with classmates on Friday when he jumped the two meter-high fence around the panda's habitat, said the park employee.

The park in Guilin, a popular tourist town in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, houses a small zoo and a panda exhibit.

It was virtually deserted when the student scaled the fence surrounding the panda, named Yang Yang, the employee said.

He said the student was bitten in the arms and legs. Two foreign visitors who saw the attack ran to get help from workers at a nearby refreshment stand, who notified park officials, the employee said.

The student was pale as he was taken away by medics but appeared clear-headed, he said.

"Yang Yang was so cute and I just wanted to cuddle him. I didn't expect he would attack," the 20-year-old student, surnamed Liu, said in a local hospital, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.

Pandas, which generally have a public image as cute, gentle creatures, are nonetheless wild animals that can be violent when provoked or startled.

Last year, a panda at the Beijing Zoo attacked a teenager, ripping chunks out of his legs, when he jumped a barrier while the bear was being fed.

The same panda was in the news in 2006 when he bit a drunk tourist who broke into his enclosure and tried to hug him while he was asleep.The tourist retaliated by biting the bear in the back.
I loled.

But good god, moron much. xD
 
It's a bear.. how do you not expect something in the bear family to attack when you try to cuddle it unless it's stuffed with fluff? o.O
 
Actually, I believe that Pandas are more closely related to Badgers, but still.

But they're not. o.o; They are bears.

Anyway, I winced a bit at the story. Who wouldn't expect a wild animal, especially a bear, to do that?

lol'd at the pic though.
 
I laughed WAAAY too hard. My sides hurt. But seriously, who in the hell would try and hug a panda? It makes me wonder why humans aren't the endangered ones.

The kid had to be psychologically impaired... please say that's the reason. I refuse to believe such a level of stupidity exists.
 
Guys, leave him alone. If I saw a panda, I'm sure I'd want to hug it, too :(

The "The tourist retaliated by biting the bear in the back" part made me laugh way too much, though.
