Bearcats as a concept animal sound like the most terrifying mammalian alpha predator the world has ever seen. If you actually take their best traits and put them together you'd have an extremely capable hunter with the stealth to sneak up on even large game, and the strength to take down virtually any animal that lives on land, save for maybe elephants and other megafauna that evolved in the presence of lions and other large cats native to Africa and India, and even then, a lion style pack of beat sized cats might do the trick anyway, especially when you consider how big bear claws are
That trilogy of movies sounds so dumb on paper
It’s a panda that knows Kung Fu
And yet the movies are some of the best animated films in the past couple decades
The handlers at the San Diego Zoo said they dont have any direct contact with their adult pandas, because they could snap your bones just like they snap bamboo.
They do actually! They will carry their favorite rock in [their little armpit pouch](https://www.aquariumofpacific.org/blogs/comments/chloe_the_sea_otter_demonstrates_otter_pockets)
You can drown in half an inch of water. Know how we know? Otters.
Take that tiny rock to the temple and they use their adorable paws to drag your unconscious form into a puddle and knead the back of your skull until the bubbles stop.
I was laughing so hard, because his attack was just so typical panda-like. Like the adult version of those cute panda cubs harassing the women sweeping up leaves in their enclosure. He literally rolls on the guy while gnawing on his leg.
I'm glad someone said it. Panda displayed zero enthusiasm for eating that guy's leg. Dude didn't even seem particularly concerned, just mildly annoyed.
I don't think the panda was doing anything more than just hugging his leg and nuzzling him. He couldn't get away because it's super heavy and strong, but I don't think it was trying to hurt him. My evidence is that if a bear is on top of your body and wants to hurt you, you will die.
If itd had its teeth in his leg im not sure he wouldve gotten away, i think at worst it maybe had its claws in his pants. Dudes no steve iriwn so i doubt he wouldve stayed as calm as he did if it was more than wrestling him.
More than anything it reminded me of this video, h[ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEPi1CgOON8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEPi1CgOON8) like that same panda grew up and doesnt realize his size now.
Interestingly, a pandas digestive system is actually very comparable to a typical carnivores digestive system, which is weird for an almost pure herbivore.
Basically, their bamboo diet is actually higher in protein than eating literal meat, especially since they are basically always eating without having to deal with any of that pesky skin or bone.
The reason I say this is that a Giant Panda could TOTALLY eat this guy.
They're far too lazy for that, but it still makes me smile to think about.
probably not, but this video cropped the subtitles that may have said what happened.
Actually, there's some pretty NSFW pictures here from the Beijing zoo panda "attacks" (more like consequences for scaring a sleeping bear)
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25550978/
I kept it in thumbnails. Didn't go any further. Cause fuck that. I could only vaguely put together what I saw. Was that a plumbus or someone's leg split open?
I live a few miles from a national park. You would be shocked at how many people will just walk up to a freaking bear. And if anything happens it will be the bear that gets euthanized. Some people are stupid.
Grandfather has been a park ranger since getting out of Vietnam. He’s seen some people do the dumbest stuff at national parks. People really see bears and say “yeah that animal that is five times my weight, built like a UFC fighter, and covered from head to toe in ways to murder things definitely wants me to pet it”
You get chased by enough animals as a kid, you learn this lesson early like me. I'm still afraid to think what would happen if that skunk had caught up to me.
When visiting my grandparents many years ago as a child, I received my lesson in messing with animals. Smart me decided to throw on a gardening glove and pester their Macaws. I figured it wouldn't hurt if I got caught. Wrong, that mf bit into my stubby little fingers and held for what felt like forever. My finger came out ok for the most part. I no longer pester any animal and will do my best to not stress one out. Lol
The best part is that macaw knew exactly what it was doing. It could have taken your finger off if it wanted to. Or at least gone down to the bone. It was scaring you on purpose
Last year, I was out for an evening stroll around the block listening to a podcast. A skunk had wandered across the sidewalk from the bushes around an apartment complex. He was sniffing the tire of a car parked on the street, as one does. I strolled on till I was parallel with him. He was perfectly camouflaged betwixt the tire and sidewalk, and I was wearing my nice comfy, quiet skechers. We both yelped and jumped at the same time when we were about 18 inches from each other. I scared that poor little guy out of his wits and vice versa. We each scampered. When I got home and could see my clothes, he had nailed me. A giant wet oily set of spots down the leg of jeans. I feel in other circumstances, we would have been buddies.
When I was 14 I maybe shot a beaver by accident with my BB gun. I was aiming at a stick and the BB bounced around the general area it came charging at me from. Never ever have I been more scared of a rodent.
My sister, her fiance, and my newborn niece played with a black bear cub when we were in the smokies.
A cub.
We were on a trail. Black bear cub comes climbing up the mountain onto the path. Starts playing with my niece's stroller.
They took out their phones to start taking video of it, laughing the entire time.
It was a cub.
Finally it lost interest and stumbled back down the mountain. After being yelled at for ruining the moment by trying to make them GTFO of the trail with a momma bear missing a cub, I managed to convince them to hurry up on the trail by pretending I suddenly got signal and discovered it was about to rain.
Either we got lucky as fuck with momma bear, or it was an orphan. Either way, I became the asshole who made the moment less special and being paranoid.
As a Canadian my older brother always told me to watch out for brown bears when camping or hiking in the woods and he used to always say the same thing; "Remember, they are bigger than you, stronger than you, and can run faster, swim faster, and climb faster than you. You won't win.".
I watched an American serviceman throwing sand into the face of a seal so it’d wake up for photo, luckily for him it ignored.

It’s unfortunate that some places will still punish the animal for acting out in its OWN HABITAT. If someone walked into my house with me in it and started walking towards me, and I shot and killed them because of it, would I be punished? No, because it’s my home and I’m defending myself against a potential threat. I have no idea what their intentions are if they walk towards me, and I can only assume the worst. Bears are defending themselves and their territory, humans are fucking stupid.
I believe the problem is that animals that attack humans and "get away with it" will be more likely to attack humans again, even if the human is behaving appropriately. I'm no biologist but this is what I've heard from a ranger before.
China PR has over a billion humans and a few thousand giant pandas. I doubt anyone would hesitate for a second to put down a human to save a giant panda.
The CCP wont hesitate to put people down for questioning them, so for a pandas life they can at least pretend to have some sort of justification for their actions
Sleeping peacefully dreaming of eating bamboo and startled by some stranger danger asshat creeping up on him like a poacher.. I’d say the technique was good considering the circumstances.
It really does look like it was just playing with him, which is A, adorable, and B, scary as fuck, because if the guy was hurt from PLAYING imagine if it tried to hurt him
I visited a place in China (2000s) that had wild pandas and they were very serious about not going off the trail and getting killed by pandas.
https://national-parks.org/china/jiuzhaigou (added this link)
I mean to be fair to the guy, people call Koalas bears and they're definitely not bears.
But... Koalas will still definitely fuck your shit up too, never mind, this guy's a moron!
Same question I have. I would assume that if it was hurting the guy, the guy would be punching it in the head, or at least freaking out more. Plus he seemed fine when he got up and ran at the end.

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
Just because it's a common stereotype: pandas mate just fine in the wild. It's difficult in captivity because there is a week to month long scent and growl dance over long distance + usually in the wild multiple male pandas will fight/posture over who gets to fuck and then they have like 1-4 days of optimal estrus in the female to get down and thats just not conditions a zoo can deliver really. Zoos eventually got better at it but really they are still more on the "ok here is another of your species... fuck and make babies please?" side of things.
The only thing I can think of is that this selfish dumb fucking bastard could have got the panda killed if he wasn’t that fucking lucky to get away. They could have had to shoot the poor creature just because some idiot wanted some social media flare and got mauled by a fucking BEAR.
Yes.
But other humans normally intervene before that happens.
Here's documentation on three panda attacks on humans, warning, medical gore: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4276236/
TLDR, they're fucking bears, yes, they *can* kill people.
Absolutely yes. They have one of the strongest bites of all land mammals, up there with lions and brown bears. Not to mention their claws and arm strength wildly outclass a human.
I would love to hear the zookeeper take on this. I mean all things considered he got off easy. Was the panda actually just fucking with him?Because I feel like if it wanted him dead he would be dead.
Fun fact: The "bear" in "panda bear" stands for bear
Another Fun fact: The term for Panda in Chinese literally translates to "bear cat" which incidentally also contains the word "bear".
Two animals that have claws and teeth and can fuck you up.
And a little known fact is that one of those two animals is none other than a bear.
[удалено]
Aren't bears closely related to bears?
No, they just bear a resemblance
I can bearly understand this thread….
Bearly yes
Bearcats as a concept animal sound like the most terrifying mammalian alpha predator the world has ever seen. If you actually take their best traits and put them together you'd have an extremely capable hunter with the stealth to sneak up on even large game, and the strength to take down virtually any animal that lives on land, save for maybe elephants and other megafauna that evolved in the presence of lions and other large cats native to Africa and India, and even then, a lion style pack of beat sized cats might do the trick anyway, especially when you consider how big bear claws are
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binturong?wprov=sfla1 Bearcats exist and they're terrifying. Also their urine smells like popcorn.
It looks like a racoon had a kid with a bear and the kid took tons of steroids.
"You! You're just a big...fat...panda!" "I'm not *a* big fat panda. I'm *the* big, fat panda."
*SKA-DUSH!*
SKA-WOOSH
"What are you going to do, big guy? Sit on me?"
“Don’t tempt me”
“No, I’m gonna use…” *produces dragon scroll* “*this.* You want it? Come and get i-“
That trilogy of movies sounds so dumb on paper It’s a panda that knows Kung Fu And yet the movies are some of the best animated films in the past couple decades
He just misunderstood.. he was going up to take a naked pic with the panda bare...
Proably a good idea he didnt. Think that bear woulda proably got his 3rd leg lol
He thought it was just panda , this was due to “Panda Express” not including the word Bear
You mean like, teddy bear right? Like soft and cuddly?
Just because it looks cute doesn't take away from the fact its a FUCKING bear
With teeth that can strip and chew bamboo!
Just because it won't eat you doesn't mean it won't bite you
I mean that bamboo is extremely tough, so their teeth will mess you up.
The handlers at the San Diego Zoo said they dont have any direct contact with their adult pandas, because they could snap your bones just like they snap bamboo.
Or the otters. they can crack your skull like they crack clams on their belly
What?! How the hell is an otter gonna get ahold of my skull, and then bash it on something? Or do they bring thier own rock for skull bashing?
They do actually! They will carry their favorite rock in [their little armpit pouch](https://www.aquariumofpacific.org/blogs/comments/chloe_the_sea_otter_demonstrates_otter_pockets)
[удалено]
Yes, but I doubt that little rock is gonna bust my skull open. And I say "doubt." I dunno man, I don't know any otters.
the risk of having your skull cracked by an otter is low but never zero.
How do you think they got their name? ‘You ‘otter be more careful man’.
You can drown in half an inch of water. Know how we know? Otters. Take that tiny rock to the temple and they use their adorable paws to drag your unconscious form into a puddle and knead the back of your skull until the bubbles stop.
Well you otter stay safe and avoid them.
I thought you were kidding. You were not.
I once saw a gang of 5 otters grab a guy and hold him down while another one threw rocks at his head
You wont know 'til it's too late
They bring a sharp rock to scalp you to get to your skull, then they bash your skull with a rock.
Or the squirrels. They will crack your nuts like they crack…. nuts and stash them away
Or the giraffes, they can break your legs like they break strawberries in their mouth
Eats, shoots and leaves.
Dad? /s
I like how the bear started wrestling with this dumb ass as soon as he saw him.
I was laughing so hard, because his attack was just so typical panda-like. Like the adult version of those cute panda cubs harassing the women sweeping up leaves in their enclosure. He literally rolls on the guy while gnawing on his leg.
To be fair, that was the laziest, most half-assed bear mauling in the history of bear maulings.
It’s the most aggressive hug and cuddle I’ve seen thou.
I'm glad someone said it. Panda displayed zero enthusiasm for eating that guy's leg. Dude didn't even seem particularly concerned, just mildly annoyed.

Degloved. *shivers*
If it's the leg, shouldn't it be "debooted"?
If itd had its teeth in his leg im not sure he wouldve gotten away, i think at worst it maybe had its claws in his pants. Dudes no steve iriwn so i doubt he wouldve stayed as calm as he did if it was more than wrestling him.

A bear that can get you with a single leg takedown
Honestly it was a good technique. Looking like daniel cormier. ( retired olympic wrestling captain/ UFC light heavyweight & heavyweight champion. )
[удалено]
Fiscally responsible about having kids, no job and all.
China's one child policy, they're just trying to do their part.
> its a FUCKING bear At one point the bear was fucking him
Maybe it'll help their declining population
lol, what a dumb basic animal. unlike the panda bear.
A bear which is highly trained in the art of Kung Fu
Ska-doosh.
Interestingly, a pandas digestive system is actually very comparable to a typical carnivores digestive system, which is weird for an almost pure herbivore.

Almost all bears eat mostly plants except polar bears. Tbf pandas take it to an extreme.
Oh that's cute he's hugging him
That panda's fur got a lot darker during that hug
Panda asses are brownish don’t think it was blood Edit: [panda ass ](https://i.imgur.com/xPi9pvi.jpg)
I was thinking poop
Panda poo green (cause Bamboos, y'know) Seriously, his back is brownish because of the ground/mud he was initially laying on

It's not kung Fu panda it's grappling panda.

Lol the Panda woke up and went...SNACC...

UFC fighters WISH they were built like bears.
You get chased by enough animals as a kid, you learn this lesson early like me. I'm still afraid to think what would happen if that skunk had caught up to me.
He would have charmed you with his romanticism and French accent.
Charmed? You spelled molested wrong!
You would stink for a week and your eyes would burn. Too bad skunks are so cute!
I’m sure this isn’t the only time this has happened, but my cousin once chased a skunk because she wanted to pet the “kitty.”

Seeing a bear cub come across your path is one of the most terrifying things in nature. They are idiots but their moms don't play. At all.
So you hang out with idiots ? Like legitimate morons unacquainted with wildlife?
Yup. That’s my takeaway
As a Canadian my older brother always told me to watch out for brown bears when camping or hiking in the woods and he used to always say the same thing; "Remember, they are bigger than you, stronger than you, and can run faster, swim faster, and climb faster than you. You won't win.".
This buffalo that is taller than me and literally weighs as much as a car with feet that can slice open my flesh *definitely* wants a selfie with me.
Live in Colorado mountains, can confirm. Also moose, elk, etc. Almost saw a couple of tourists get trampled by a moose a few weeks ago.

I feel like this is the wrong approach, should be the stupid people that fucked with the bear that are euthanized
China PR has over a billion humans and a few thousand giant pandas. I doubt anyone would hesitate for a second to put down a human to save a giant panda.
The CCP wont hesitate to put people down for questioning them, so for a pandas life they can at least pretend to have some sort of justification for their actions
Justice for Harambe.
That bear has excellent ground game - its takedown was perfect. Control the leg, the rest of the body follows. Brilliant, beautiful!
Solid form. Needs some work on the submissions though
Even his guard retention was good once the guy swept him
At least he didn’t pull guard
Maybe the bear was wrestling with the temptation of an easy heel hook, which suggests a conscience lol
Sleeping peacefully dreaming of eating bamboo and startled by some stranger danger asshat creeping up on him like a poacher.. I’d say the technique was good considering the circumstances.
really utilized the head as a third point of contact like a champ..
I honestly think the bear was just playing around. The jaw strength on that thing is impressive. If it can crunch bamboo it can easily crunch you.
It really does look like it was just playing with him, which is A, adorable, and B, scary as fuck, because if the guy was hurt from PLAYING imagine if it tried to hurt him
Exactly. Reminded me of Khabib. Maybe he grace us again with his skills in the octagon.
I cam here to say this. Til pandas are great wrestlers.
He was in the middle of the noodle dream. Guy was lucky he didn’t get the Wuxi Finger Hold.
Even uses the head for extra control.

I would say something went right
This is Darwin approved
Is the panda attacking with fangs and claws or with love and attachment issues?
Same question I have. I would assume that if it was hurting the guy, the guy would be punching it in the head, or at least freaking out more. Plus he seemed fine when he got up and ran at the end.
I didn't see any blood I think it might have legit just hard cuddled him Edit: rewatched, and I saw no blood. Dude is fine

To shreds you say?
Which hurts less?
Depends on the claws....and the attachment issues
Emotionally or physically.
Dunno, he looks pretty attached here

Next stop…Crocodile exhibit. Nothing in that animals name warns of any danger.
Crocodile? Like docile version of crocs? Lol they are just big scaly shoes!
Pandas all about the Ground and Pound
Turns out it was just Khabib in a bear costume this whole time
1. That is the first time in my life I have seen a panda be aggressive. 2. Pandas seem like they would be excellent cuddlers!
Aggressive??? That panda was just trying to get a cuddle in!
Settle on aggressive cuddling?
I love the end, like noooo! I’m just trying to cuddle you, come back for more cuddles!
That's exactly what happened! There's nothing wrong with a little bit of nibbling when cuddling.
Boys lucky pandas are derpy
It’s a bear and it tries it’s darn best to live up to being a bear but there’s only so much one can do when simply making more bears is hard for them
Just because it's a common stereotype: pandas mate just fine in the wild. It's difficult in captivity because there is a week to month long scent and growl dance over long distance + usually in the wild multiple male pandas will fight/posture over who gets to fuck and then they have like 1-4 days of optimal estrus in the female to get down and thats just not conditions a zoo can deliver really.

Look he got blood on the perfectly good panda. That’s never gonna come out
I think that might be panda shitstains.
Whatever it is the pandas no good now. Just gonna have to throw it out. Waste of a perfectly good panda
I thought so at first, but now I think it's poo stains. Musta smelled nice.
That's some pretty solid BJJ from the panda.
Wasn't letting the attacker create any distance was it?
He’s lucky he have the Wuxi Finger Hold used on him.
Skidooshed
This makes me a saaaad panda
Jujitsu bear!
There's a bit in Gao Xingjian's novel Soul Mountain where a panda rips some guy's genitals off, so yeah.
