On 9 February, 2019, a young girl fell in the Giant Panda enclosure at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. According to a report from the Chengdu Business Daily News, she was up on top of the wall and was knocked over by a tourist taking pictures. The child fell into the trench below. A nearby panda moved to the edge of the trench, right near the girl.
A security guard first attempted to pull the child out by lowering a piece of bamboo, but the girl was not strong enough to pull herself up. As this rescue attempt was happening, another panda joined the first one.
The security guard eventually squeezed himself through a gap in the fence and pulled the child out by her arm. By this time, three pandas had gathered. This was a near escape.
