He may be smarter – and bigger – than your average bear but that doesn’t mean giant panda Yang Guang can’t give himself a fright with a stick.
CCTV footage from Edinburgh Zoo has been released showing the panda munching on his bamboo stick before placing it behind him… Only to get quite the fright when the stick fell over.
After jumping up and spinning round the panda takes a well earned break, lying on his back and scratching himself to help him get over the scare.
Last month, the zoo’s female panda, Tian Tian, was caught on camera after she somersaulted off the same hammock.
