Panda bites student seeking a hug.

"The same panda was in the news in 2006 when he bit a drunk tourist who broke into his enclosure and tried to hug him while he was asleep. The tourist retaliated by biting the bear in the back."

It's just so awesome I don't know how to process it. I have no words.

Ha! I was just reading this too. My favorite part is actually when a park employee explains that (unlike America?) they won't change anything to prevent stuff like this: "There are no fences along roads but people know not to cross if there are cars. This is basic knowledge." Awesome.

"Yang Yang... was behaving normally on Saturday and did not seem to suffer any negative psychological effects, the park employee said."
