Who says they're cuddly & cute?

We've all been there haven't we? A few too many at lunchtime down the pub and then it all goes horribly wrong.

A panda at a zoo in Beijing bit a drunken man after said human tried to to give Gu Gu, the panda, a hug.

Zhang Xinyan, the man in question, who is apparently a bit fuzzy on the details, had just wanted to give the panda a hug after a liquid lunch.

"When I was in there, the panda was eating bamboo. Then, it seemed some people shouted, which startled the panda. He rushed over to bite my leg. I took the opportunity to bite the panda's back, but its fur was too thick."

Gu Gu is said to have gone off her feed after the incident but is OK now. Mr. Zhang is still recovering.
