They bound towards her and one appears to bite at her ankles while the other knocks her to the ground.
The woman appears concerned as the animals paw at her head and seem to nibble her neck area at one point.
One panda runs off, showing a rip in the zookeeper’s shirt and scratch marks on her shoulder area.
She manages to sit up as the other bear continues to gnaw at her midriff in front of hundreds of filming zoo visitors.
A colleague runs out to help the stricken woman and he is then chased by the animal.
The clip ends with both workers running for safety in the enclosure as the panda, apparently a juvenile, gives chase.
According to reports, the zookeeper only sustained minor injuries in the attack.
The bizarre scenes were filmed at Chongqing Zoo in the sprawling Chinese megacity of the same name, as reported by Need To Know.
It happened on Tuesday (23 Apr).
One local said: “That happened because the zookeeper looks inexperienced. She should have run away, but instead she tried to stop them.”
Another wrote: “They don’t care for her because she doesn’t love them, she’s just doing her job, they don’t tolerate falseness.”

“Their strength is amazing, fortunately the zookeeper is fine.”
