Gu Gu the panda had to have his jaws forced open to free the man, who had jumped in to retrieve his son’s toy.

Gu Gu first bit a man in 2007, when a drunken tourist jumped into his pen and tried to hug him, then bit the panda in the back in retaliation. Gu Gu later bit a teenager who had let curiosity about the panda’s pen put him in harm’s way.

Pandas, a national symbol of China, are mythologised as cute and cuddly but can often be violent. Don’t play play with a panda.
