BEIJING (Reuters) - An intoxicated Chinese man who tried to
give a panda a hug at Beijing Zoo found himself biting it in
self defense after his clumsy attempt at affection was savagely
rejected, local media reported Thursday.
Zhang Xinyan, a building worker on holiday from China's
central Henan province, climbed into an enclosure that held Gu
Gu, a seven-year-old panda, at Beijing Zoo after the man had
drunk four pints of beer during lunch at a nearby restaurant,
the Yanzhao Metropolis Daily said.
Zhang, who couldn't remember the incident clearly, had
wanted to hug the panda and shake its hand after having watched
similar scenes on television.
"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," Zhang said.
Zhang, who tried in vain to push the panda away, was bitten
twice and forced to the ground, the paper said.
"I took the opportunity to bite the panda's back, but its
fur was too thick," Zhang said.
Eventually, a zoo worker sprayed water from a hose to
rescue Zhang from the panda's clutches, the paper said.
Both were worse for wear after the tussle. Zhang was rushed
to hospital and given tetanus and rabies shots, while Gu Gu
lost her appetite, Xinhua news agency reported.
"It was scared by the intruder and refused to eat for one
and a half days," a zoo spokeswoman, surnamed Ye, told Xinhua.
But Gu Gu had recovered and was back on display Thursday.
Zhang, however, faces at least a half-month convalescence,
due to the "deep wounds," Xinhua said, citing Zhang's doctor.
His pride had also been injured, after reading stories of
his exploits in newspapers.
"I wouldn't have jumped in if I knew what would happen,"
Zhang said.
The zoo, which plans to install cameras to monitor the
enclosure, would not prosecute, Xinhua said.
But Zhang had already been tried and found guilty by
Chinese Internet surfers.
"The man should be fined for the trouble he made," an
anonymous commentator said in a posting on 163.com.
"He deserved to be bitten."
