Watch how much fun this panda has in the snow

One of the pandas at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington had some fun in the snow on Saturday, December 9.

Mei Xiang frolicked and rolled down the hill as spectators watched.

The zoo’s giant pandas are native to the cold climate of China’s western mountains and are more active during the winter month, the zoo said.

The National Weather Service reported that just over two inches of snow fell at the zoo on Saturday.
