This is the shocking moment a panda attacks a female zookeeper after trapping her inside its cage at a Chinese zoo.
The panda, named Ding Ding, can be seen chasing the keeper, before pinning her down and biting her.
The footage which was shot at Chongqing Zoo in the city of the same name in south-western China happened just after 9am on September 19.
It first shows the keeper trying to get out of the enclosure but the panda throws its 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 her hands on its shoulders.

But the panda surges forward, and eventually swipes her off her feet and pounces on top of her.
The panda appears to be biting the terrified keeper on the arm as she tries to push it away.
She eventually managed to run for the door while the panda was distracted.
The attack shocked visitors at the zoo who could be heard screaming as the attack unfolded.
Chongqing Zoo has since promised to put safety measures in place to ensure a similar incident does not happen again.
The park, built in 1953, covers an area of 111 acres and has a variety of animals including giant pandas, red pandas, the South China tiger and white tigers.
