Panda attacks zookeeper

A female zookeeper at Chongqing Zoo in China was attacked by a giant panda named Ding Ding during a routine maintenance task, sparking widespread shock among visitors and raising safety concerns. The incident unfolded as the zookeeper tried to close a metal door to prevent the panda from accessing a restricted area, which agitated the animal. In a sudden fit of aggression, Ding Ding charged at the zookeeper, knocking her to the ground and attempting to bite her, while onlookers screamed in horror. Fortunately, the zookeeper managed to fend off the panda and escape unharmed after a tense struggle. Zoo officials are now reviewing safety protocols to avoid similar incidents in the future, highlighting the potential dangers of working with wild animals, even those typically perceived as docile. While both the panda and the zookeeper are receiving care, the incident has sparked discussions about animal management and staff safety in zoos.
