A Giant Panda in the Beijing Zoo has attacked a man who entered his pen. Gu Gu weighs a large 108 kilograms and has a reputation for attacking tourists. The latest attack is the third since 2006 as Gu Gu does not like people entering his abode. The victim was a man who climbed over the enclosing in order to retrieve his child’s toy. Gu Gu quickly showed him who the boss was by grabbing on to his leg and refusing to let go. Zoo attendants had to use force to pry the panda’s jaws open and let the man free. He is said to be recovering from surgery after damage to his ligaments, and police are unsure whether he will be facing charges.
Gu Gu first attacked a man in 2006 when a drunken tourist decided to hug him. The following year the male panda attacked a fifteen-year old boy. Gu Gu is renowned for his grumpy temperament and does not like people jumping into his pen to touch him. Giant Pandas are very rare in the world today, and people all over the world visit the zoo to see these spectacular creatures.
