Baby Panda Seeing Snow Will Warm Your Cold Soul

Are you freezing your butt off today? I feel you… and so does baby giant panda Bao Bao, who lives in D.C. and is officially the most adorable animal of the year (until a cute puppy doing literally anything comes across our computer screens). While you were huddling under every layer of clothing you’ve ever owned and then some, baby Bao Bao was smiling in the snow. Even with the arctic temperatures sweeping the nation, this baby panda is sure to warm you up.

Jan. 6, 2015—As the year’s first blanket of snow coated the Washington, D.C. area today, giant panda Bao Bao spent much of the morning playing in it for the very first time. The sixteen month-old panda cub tumbled down the hill in her outdoor enclosure, climbed trees and pounced on her mother Mei Xiang. Our great cats, seals and wolves also enjoyed the wintry weather.
