I was going to make a joke about looking like bamboo, but apparently they CAN be dangerous

They’re solitary creatures and like to avoid confrontation, the World Wildlife Fund reports, but have sharp claws and teeth and may attack to protect themselves or their cubs if provoked.

The International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine examined three cases of giant panda attacks to warn people the animals could potentially be dangerous. In one case, a drunken tourist at the Beijing City Zoo jumped into the giant panda enclosure to try and pet the panda, only to have his calf severely bitten. He was left with a skin defect and an open injury. In the two other cases, male tourists accidentally fell into the enclosures, and the giant pandas bit them.

In another incident, a giant panda severely injured a Chinese wildlife conservationist. Wei Hua, who was looking after the panda, suffered severe wounds, including slashed ankles, broken bones, muscle loss and losing a third of his left palm, People’s Daily Online reported.

There are no records of a panda having killed a human, but past attacks clearly show you should exercise caution if entering a panda’s space
