That title should have merited some attention because while man bites dog has been around for awhile, man bites panda is an entirely different matter.
But this is not a misprint nor red herring plea to be read because on Tuesday a drunken Chinese migrant worker guzzled 4 jugs of beer and then jumped inside the panda enclosure at the Beijing Zoo. 
Once inside, this drunken buffoon tried to visit Gu Gu the panda who was peacefully sleeping before Zhang Xinyan startled the animal, who in turn bit Zhang on the right leg.
Then things really got ugly. Zhang was so enraged by the panda attack which he provoked that he decided to bite Gu Gu in the back to even the score.
“I bit the fellow in the back,” Zhang was quoted in a Chinese newspaper. “Its skin was quite thick.”
Witnesses said that a tussle soon ensued between the two combatants that ended with Gu Gu biting this pickled moron on his other leg. Other tourists yelled for a zookeeper, who got the panda under control by spraying it with water, and Zhang was hospitalized.
Ye Mingxia, a spokeswoman for the Beijing Zoo, confirmed the incident happened but would not give any details. She said Gu Gu was “healthy.”
“We’re not considering punishing him now,” Ye said in a telephone interview. “He’s suffered quite a bit of shock.”
Gu Gu doesn't deserve any punishment for this incident, but I think that Zhang should be banned from ever visiting another zoo and possibly flogged in front of Gu Gu while the panda munches on leaves and shouts insults. 
I've always thought that having a panda around the house would be an excellent addition as they seem to be very mellow creatures. It's too bad that they are so rare and expensive because I would have already had one long ago.
Obviously, I wouldn't startle the panda or try to bite in the back, and I have no sympathy for Zhang because if 4 beers caused him to do something this stupid then he deserves to be savagely bitten by Gu Gu and mocked by the general public. 
I mean it's not everyday that some joker has a few beers and then gets his ass handed to him by a panda bear.
-BDS
Damn shame when a grown man can't hold his booze.
Clearly Zhang is a moron, good thing Gu Gu isn't into the bottle or he/she would have had one tasty pickled treat.
not so cute and cuddly are they?
What a doofus. At least hopefully the humiliation of having people laugh at you all across the world will hopefully make an impact on his thick skull.
I want a Panda too!
Melissa - This is always a sad case regardless of the country where it occurs.
Miss Ash - I wish he would have just polished the moron off and saved the hospital some trouble.
Jlee - Not when attacked I suppose.
Luce - We'll see, but I'm always surprised by the sheer amount of morons walking around these days, so I don't hold out a lot of hope.

I wonder if it was four beers and something else? Yay for the Panda!
Agree with all you guys, the panda was more than justified. Why the heck should anyone be surprised! Sh*t when you attack ANYONE or ANYTHING, you are going to get attacked in return.
Only the stupidest of the stupid would expect anything else.
D.U.M.B.A.S.S.
The same type of person, I suppose, who'd expect a grizzly bear to behave like Smokey the Bear?
The Chinese can't hold their piss... it's a well known and proved fact.
Poor Panda.
Symplyamused - I was pulling for the Panda all the way.
Nancy - I think DUMBASS says it all too.
Friday - This poor bastard was obviously a lightweight, and deserved everything he got and more.
D - A groin kick was definitely earned, and that would have been great video if it had happened.
