 The Beijing News January 8, 2008 A man was attacked by a giant panda at the Beijing Zoo, after he climbed into its enclosure despite the warning sign yesterday, today's The Beijing News reports. The man whose name is Zhang Xiao was trying to pick up his son's toy panda which had fallen inside the panda pen.

This one is an Anhui ren.
