This is the shocking moment a panda attacks a zookeeper after trapping her inside its cage at a Chinese zoo.
The panda, named Ding Ding, can be seen chasing the carer, before pinning her down and biting her.
The footage, filmed at Chongqing Zoo in the city of the same name in southwestern China, took place shortly after 9 a.m. on Sept. 19.
The keeper is first shown trying to get out of the enclosure, but the panda throws his weight behind the door, forcing her to run back inside.
The panda then runs after the zookeeper, who tries to keep the animal at bay by putting his hands on its shoulders.
