Tooth Fu Panda

Panda bites third tourist in 2 years at China zoo: "BEIJING (AP) - A panda at the Beijing zoo bit his third tourist in two years—and this time, his jaws had to forced open to free the man, who jumped in to retrieve his son's toy.

Gu Gu, a 240-pound (110-kilogram) panda, mauled the man's legs and refused to let go until zookeepers pried his jaws open with tools, said a zoo spokeswoman surnamed Gong. She would not give her full name, as is common among Chinese officials."

Jeff's and my mutual friend Chuck Esola needs to be aware of this. (Chuck at one time seemed determined to wrestle pandas.)
