GU Gu the panda has struck again, mauling someone who jumped a barrier to retrieve a child's toy, in his third attack on a visitor at the Beijing zoo.
A tourist from Anhui Province climbed over a 1.4-meter barrier surrounding the panda's outdoor exercise area on Wednesday to retrieve a toy dropped by his five-year-old son, said a zoo spokeswoman surnamed Gong.
The 110-kilogram Gu Gu bit the intruder's legs and refused to let go until zookeepers pried his jaws open, Gong told The Associated Press.
The Beijing News identified the man as Zhang Jiao, and quoted tourists as saying Zhang appeared to first look around to check if there were pandas nearby before jumping the barrier.
Gu Gu made news in 2007 when he bit a drunken tourist who jumped into his pen and tried to hug him. The tourist retaliated by biting the bear on the back. In October, Gu Gu bit a teenager who climbed into his exercise area.
The Beijing News said the latest victim suffered damage to major ligaments and is recovering from surgery.
