Cameras Catch Giant Pandas Enjoying The First Snow

You may say that grown-ups are getting lots of headaches because of snow fallings, but apparently this rule doesn’t work at pandas. After a major snowfall in the D.C. region, a family of giant pandas at National Zoo were caught on camera having the time of their lives.

When a snowstorm struck in January, however, cameras caught the panda playing in the snow. In the video, the cub can be seen rolling around the snow, throwing some of the powder in its face and rolling down a hill. n Facebook, the Smithsonian Zoo captioned the video, "New year, new Xiao Qi Ji! In January 2021, our giant panda cub was a little wary during his first encounter with snow. This morning, the 16-month-old plowed face-first into the fresh powder, rolled around and relished the year's first snow day. His belly-sliding skills are 10/10."
