Chinese casanova attacked by 120kg 'Kung Fu' panda after trying to impress girls

A Chinese man was attacked by a giant panda after prodding the bear in Nanchang Zoo, Jiangxi Province, China.

CCTV footage showed that upon jumping into the pen, the man started making gestures, supposedly at his female friends outside the enclosure. 

He subsequently walked over to the sleeping panda, attempting to get its attention by tapping on its head.

While initially unresponsive, the giant suddenly woke up and went Kung Fu Panda on him; grabbing the man’s leg and refusing to let go.

The guy, who clearly had no martial arts training, was no match for the prowess of the panda. 

He fell to the ground and the pair were embroiled in a scuffle as the man tried to shove the panda off, but to no avail.

Fortunately, after a struggle that lasted about five minutes, the intruder finally broke free and fled from the enclosure unharmed, according to stuff.
