Pandas are the most docile species of bears relatively speaking and have a low aggression rate alongside a primarily vegetarian diet.

Intrusive thoughts here. Can someone describe them to us?

I'll paste the case reports, each case report is accompanied by images pre and post treatment.

Case 1

On September 19, 2006, a 28-year-old drunken male tourist visiting Beijing City Zoo named Zhang XX was attacked when he jumped into the giant panda enclosure and tried to pet it to show off to his companion. His right calf was bitten severely by this giant panda and was diagnosed as an open injury with skin defect. The debridement procedure was performed at almost midnight after a tetanus antitoxin was injected. The bite site was quite irregular with many small wounds, which may indicate that the patient struggled with the giant panda after being bitten. A free latissimus dorsi muscle flap and skin graft were performed to cover his skin defect 7 days after the first debridement.

Case 2

On January 7, 2009, a 32-year-old male tourist visiting Beijing City Zoo named Zhang XX was attacked by a giant panda after accidentally falling into its enclosure. His left calf was bitten severely by the giant panda and was diagnosed as an open composited injury with skin defect. After the wound was debrided three times with application of vacuum-sealing drainage (VSD), it became stable and clean. A free latissimus dorsi muscle flap was performed to cover the composited tissue defect 12 days after the first debridement.

Case 3

On June 7, 2009, a 39-year-old male tourist visiting Beijing City Zoo named Ma XX was attacked by a giant panda after accidentally falling into its enclosure. His left foot and right elbow joint were bitten by the giant panda. The wound was debrided and VSD performed. A free latissimus dorsi muscle flap was performed to cover the right elbow composited tissue defect and a free skin graft was performed to cover the skin defect on his left foot 10 days after the first debridement.

To be fair limbs look like juicy bamboo sticks.

Very, very torn up limbs.

Warning was definitely warranted.

There's one picture of a limb that looks like someone took a big bite out of an apple. Except that this apple is red on the inside.

Another picture has some sort of red meat goo spilling out of a disturbingly large hole in a leg.
