On Tuesday, a video of famous giant panda twins "Yu Ke" and "Yu Ai" overturning a keeper attracted wide attention. The video shows the keeper being chased by "Yu Ke" and "Yu Ai" while feeding them, with one of the pandas grabbing the keeper's leg causing her to fall to the ground. 

Subsequently, the two pandas pinned the keeper down. Amidst the audience's shouts, one panda climbed a tree, and then a staff member entered the enclosure with food, luring the other panda away, allowing the keeper to escape. 

In response, the Chongqing Zoo management department issued a notice on Wednesday and reported that around 2 pm, after the keeper had placed the food, while guiding "Yu Ke" and "Yu Ai" to the feeding spot, the two pandas chased the keeper. The keeper was unharmed, and the two pandas were also unharmed. 

After the incident, the Panda Pavilion of the zoo promptly held a safety meeting, summarized the lessons learned, drew broader implications, and made clear requirements for subsequent care operations to prevent similar incidents from happening.
