The National Zoo’s giant pandas make the most of D.C.’s snow

Thanks to Pam P.

The National Zoo’s latest giant panda residents basked in the downpour of snow that blanketed Washington, D.C., on Monday, giving onlookers a view into the playtime of the two furry bears ahead of their Jan. 24 public debut.

Video posted by the National Zoo showed 3-year-olds Bao Li, a boy, and Qing Bao, a girl, rolling around in the still-falling flurries and climbing up trees, seeming to enjoy the first D.C. snow of the year.

“This morning, about 5 inches of snow blanketed the Washington, D.C., area, including giant panda Bao Li and Qing Bao’s outdoor habitats,” the zoo wrote on X. “Flakes stuck to their fur as the bears frolicked and somersaulted.”
