PARTING SHOT

Humans are not the only ones tiring of confinement during the coronavirus pandemic — a panda escaped from his enclosure at Copenhagen Zoo today.

Xing Er, a six-year-old male panda — soon to be seven — then took a tour of the zoo, which was closed at the time. 

He was spotted on a surveillance video “leaving his enclosure, slipping under an electric fence”, zoo spokesman Jacob Munkholm Hoeck said. 

They got him back in the end.

Talk about pandemonium.
