Two pandas attack zookeeper: Visitors watch in horror – Watch video

The terrifying moment two pandas attacked a zookeeper in front of stunned onlookers at a zoo in China was caught on camera.

The footage shows everything running towards the zookeeper as she appears with snacks, with one biting her ankles before another tackles her to the ground.

Both animals climb over the terrified guard and quickly dislodge her.

The helpless worker rolls from side to side, hoping to get the two animals away but only one of them runs away, while the other holds her and rushes her in front of hundreds of screaming visitors.

The moment when everything attacks the employee

Attacks like this are extremely unusual and pandas rarely attack humans or other animals. It is not known what caused the attack.

When she finally manages to get up, the gamekeeper has a tear in her shirt as well as scratch marks on her shoulder.

A colleague of hers ran outside to help the distressed woman, but was quickly chased by the animal itself.

The clip ends with the two workers running for safety inside the cage as the panda, apparently a juvenile, chases them.

According to reports, the zoo employee suffered only minor injuries in the attack.
