Watch Toronto Zoo Panda Playfully Tumble And Roll In Snow

A panda at the Toronto Zoo was recently caught on camera having lots of fun in the snow. The large creature named Da Mao had a blast in the white fluffy stuff, rolling and tumbling around and even doing some sliding, albeit without a sled or tube.

You probably wouldn’t think pandas and humans have a lot in common, however they actually enjoy some of the same things we do.

A panda at the Toronto Zoo was recently caught on camera having lots of fun in the snow. The large creature named Da Mao had a blast in the white fluffy stuff, rolling and tumbling around and even doing some sliding, albeit without a sled or tube.

Staffers refer to the activity as ‘bear-bogganing’ which seems to be the animal version of tobogganing. He was certainly happy just to be around the snow and didn’t even need a playmate to keep him entertained.

Zoo officials noted that the snow tumbling might be his new winter sport. This isn’t the first time, however, that Da Mao has exhibited this type of behavior.

Earlier this year, the zoo shared a video showing him playing in the snow inside of his enclosure. Although he seemed to be a little less enthusiastic about the chilly snow, he did roll around a bit and tumbled down his hill.
