How much can a panda bear?

There's an old saying in journalism that Dog bites man is not a news story, but Man bites dog is. In China, I guess Man bites panda is the equivalent. The story goes that Zhang Xinyan drank four jugs of beer, went to the zoo and decided he wanted to touch a panda. The panda, GuGu, was startled and bit Zhang, who bit the panda back. They then got into a tussle that didn't end well for Zhang. "No one ever said they would bite people," Zhang said from his hospital bed. "I just wanted to touch it. I was so dizzy from the beer. I don't remember much."
