A college student in southern China was bitten by a panda after he broke into the bear's enclosure hoping to get a hug, state media reported.
The student was visiting Qixing Park with classmates on Friday when he jumped the two meter-high fence around the panda's habitat, said the park employee.
The park in Guilin, a popular tourist town in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, houses a small zoo and a panda exhibit.
It was virtually deserted when the student scaled the fence surrounding the panda, named Yang Yang, the employee said.
He said the student was bitten in 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.
Well I suppose he would be bearing in mind his head was completey void of anything remotely resembeling a brain.
"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. What you expect then you rabid raging toss pot?
A bowl of bamboo soup, pot of tea, some meaningful chit chat and a snog goodbye?
DON'T mess with us bears. OK?
