Panda in China zoo bites student who wanted a hug: Another zoo intrusion.

The 20-year-old student had ignored warning signs and scaled a two-metre (6.5ft) barrier to get into the pen. The incident happened on Friday at Qixing Park in Guilin, a popular tourist attraction in the southern Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, which houses a small zoo and panda exhibit. The panda, Yang Yang, was apparently scared by the intruder and bit the man's arms and legs, he said. The man - named only as Liu - was taken to hospital. He underwent an operation and doctors said he would stay in hospital for a few days, although his life was not in danger.
