Pandas can kill you and they have a strong bite and pandas have actually attacked some people although rare.
Though the panda is often assumed to be docile, it has been known to attack humans, presumably out of irritation rather than aggression.
Pandas have been known to cover themselves in horse manure to protect themselves against cold temperatures.
No matter how many adorable videos you've seen of pandas, don't approach a giant panda in the wild.
They have strong grips and can deliver powerful bites that are strong enough to harm a human leg.
Pandas don't usually kill their babies on purpose but sometimes the panda may accidentally kill one or more of their babies.

That's not all they're missing at birth.
