Panda Attack

Via Brian Beutler, a tale of a near-deadly panda attack:

[T]he student was bitten on 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.

Attacks aside, pandas are super-cute. A photo from my last trip to the zoo:

No attacks that afternoon.
