In a video posted by ABC, the keeper attempts to take a picture with the black and white bear, but it isn't cooperating, instead the panda bites her head and pulls her hair.

The panda grabbed onto her head for a few seconds until another zoo worker came to the rescue, gently patting the bear until it released the woman's hair.
