A controversy is brewing after two large pandas attacked a zookeeper at a zoo in China.
According to the Chongqing Zoo in China on the 23rd (local time), two pandas that came out to the outdoor kennel attacked the zookeeper who was distributing food.
According to the released video, the zookeeper was pushed by the pandas and fell backwards. The zookeeper pushed the pandas away with his arms, but it was no use. The zookeeper was instantly trapped by two pandas and was unable to move. Later, it was crushed by massive pandas, and the zookeeper was buried in a pile of grass so that only his feet were visible.
The visitors who were watching this were frightened and screamed, “Please come quickly!”
The zookeeper barely managed to get up, and other zookeepers rushed over and separated the pandas. Afterwards, they immediately left the kennel.
Fortunately, it is reported that the zookeeper was not injured. The zoo said that neither the zookeeper nor the pandas were injured and that “after the accident, we convened a safety meeting and took measures to prevent similar accidents from occurring.”

The video was played nearly 500,000 times on Weibo and became a hot topic online. It is very rare for pandas to display aggressive behavior. There have been only 18 cases of pandas attacking people in 20 years. Also, it is difficult to imagine the familiar giant panda Fubao.
Regarding this incident, there are various speculations among netizens, such as “the panda showed aggression” and “the panda was playing a prank.” They responded by saying, “The babies have no idea about their own weight,” “The pandas may just want to play with their keepers, but they don’t know that it could be dangerous,” and “No matter how cute they look, they are wild animals.”
If a giant panda attacks a person, they could be in danger. This is because pandas usually weigh over 100kg and actually have as much strength as a brown bear or a lion.
Experts say pandas can show aggression during breeding season, raising cubs, or when sick or injured.
