BEIJING (Reuters) -– A panda at a zoo in southern China attacked a student who snuck into its pen hoping for a cuddle with the endangered bear, state media said.
""The panda, named Yangyang, was wide awake. Apparently scared by the intruder, he bit at Liu's arms and legs,"" it quoted an unnamed worker as saying after zoo keepers managed to calm the bear and rescue Liu, the report said.
""Yangyang was so cute and I just wanted to cuddle him,"" Liu was quoted as saying from his hospital bed. ""I didn't expect he would attack.""
