Video: More Of the Adorable Pandas Playing In the Snow!
Yesterday the panda exhibit at the San Diego Zoo was treated to a rare experience: Snow! Baby panda Xiao Liwu and his mama, Bai Yun, got to roam around their usual chill zone with the added bonus of the frosty white stuff, which made for some utterly adorable moments we grabbed stills of from the highly addicting "pandacam".
Now the SD Zoo has edited together some great moments in panda play from yesterday's snow day, in the style of the world's cutest wrestling match of baby versus mama. It's especially cute when little Xiao Liwu goes sliding down his mom's back and onto the slippery snow.
