That looks like a lot of fun and must be tiring as one of the Pandas, currently watching panda cam 1, is inside on some rocks out cold. Napping is great after a romp in the snow!

Some zoo babies interested but not as enthusiastic as Bao Bao in yesterday's snow:
Indianapolis Zoo's tiger cub, Zoya, first snow
Philadelphia Zoo's lion cubs first snow and polar bear snow angels

Napping is great after a romp in the snow!

Pandas of all sizes and ages nap after pretty much every single thing they do. Eat a thing? Nap. Poop? Nap. Step on siblings face on the way to a nap? Nap right there on their head.

This is the cure for what ails me today. Thank you for sharing it.

I showed this to my 3 year old yesterday afternoon and she has asked for it over and over and over since then. She LOVES it.

I love how baby pandas' preferred method of travel is the somersault.

I don't think pandas are real. They can't be.

It's a conspiracy of cuteness, and I won't stand for it.

See, this is why you'll never catch me at a Panda Express. These little guys are way too cute to eat!

Yes, but here are some red pandas playing in slow! With pumpkins to boot!

I don't think pandas are real. They can't be.

They shouldn't be, anyway. They eat the wrong stuff for their digestive system, they can't manage to screw, they kill their offspring when they do. Dumb, useless fat bags, and if they looked like naked mole rats we'da let em die off long ago rather than alternately force-feeding them viagra and running at them with turkey basters.

Red pandas, on the other hand, are the best thing ever.
