Fortunately, after a tense struggle, she managed to push Ding Ding away with her kicks and escaped while the panda was briefly dracted. Emergency services were alerted, and the keeper was taken for medical evaluation. A video of the incident was posted an X user.

While giant pandas are often seen as cute and cuddly, they can be dangerous due to their size and strength. Adult pandas can weigh up to 300 pounds and possess powerful jaws and sharp teeth, which they use to crush bamboo but can also cause serious harm if they feel threatened. Zoo officials are currently reviewing safety protocols to prevent such incidents in the future. While pandas are generally known for their gentle nature, this unexpected behaviour has raised concerns about staff safety and animal management.
