People should understand that most animals are not pets. Few people were more acquainted with the behavior of bears than Timothy Treadwell.
He studied brown bears for 12 seasons in Alaska's Katmai coast. He would be the best person to answer this question. Unfortunately, he and his girlfriend, Amie Huguenard, were killed and eaten by the bears on their last expedition.

BEIJING (Reuters) - An intoxicated Chinese man who tried to give a panda a hug at Beijing Zoo found himself biting it in self defense after his clumsy attempt at affection was savagely rejected, local media reported Thursday.
Zhang Xinyan, a building worker on holiday from China's central Henan province, climbed into an enclosure that held Gu Gu, a seven-year-old panda, at Beijing Zoo after the man had drunk four pints of beer during lunch at a nearby restaurant, the Yanzhao Metropolis Daily said.
Zhang, who couldn't remember the incident clearly, had wanted to hug the panda and shake its hand after having watched similar scenes on television.
"When I was in there, the panda was eating bamboo. Then, it seemed some people shouted, which startled the panda. He rushed over to bite my leg," Zhang said.
Zhang, who tried in vain to push the panda away, was bitten twice and forced to the ground, the paper said.
"I took the opportunity to bite the panda's back, but its fur was too thick," Zhang said.
Eventually, a zoo worker sprayed water from a hose to rescue Zhang from the panda's clutches, the paper said.
Both were worse for wear after the tussle. Zhang was rushed to hospital and given tetanus and rabies shots, while Gu Gu lost her appetite, Xinhua news agency reported.
"It was scared by the intruder and refused to eat for one and a half days," a zoo spokeswoman, surnamed Ye, told Xinhua.

Haha, yes I did. The crazy drunk man. He said he had too much to drink and didn't know what happened.
Apparently he climbed over the fence, hit the panda--who hit him back, and then he bit him in the ***. He said he thought pandas were friendly creatures.
I can't even imagine seeing that! I would never jump in a zoo cage!!!

I saw it on the internet the other day, i think the chinese bloke hit the panda a couple of times, as the panda had two black eyes in the photo.

Actually, I think the article said he was drunk and wanted to pet it. It bit him, he hit it, it bit him again, he jumped in and bit it back. "The skin was quite thick," was all he said about it.
