Panda bear bites man who just wanted a hug

A college student visiting a zoo in southern China was bitten by a panda bear. He broke into the bear's enclosure hoping to get a hug from the cute looking panda.

The student was bitten in the arms and legs by the panda named Yang Yang.

”Yang Yang was so cute and I just wanted to cuddle him. I didn't expect he would attack,” the 20-year-old student, surnamed Liu, said in a local hospital, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.

Liu underwent surgery Friday evening and was out of danger, but will remain in the hospital for several days.
