Giant Panda Playtime Doesn't End Well For Snowman

Toronto Zoo’s giant panda, Da Mao, is known for his love of snow . He takes full advantage of Toronto’s winter weather by slipping and sliding  down snowy hills and making the most of his freshly powdered habitat .

This year, his keepers built him a snowy companion   but the friendship didn’t last long.

According to a YouTube video’s description, zookeepers built the snowman for Da Mao “for enrichment.” But what starts off as playtime quickly ends in destruction.

“Watch as he plays with , or rather disassembles, their creation,” the zoo wrote.

Eight-year-old Da Mao is one of two pandas at the Toronto Zoo . Most remaining wild pandas live in temperate mountain ranges in China , but Da Mao has adapted well to the cold climate of Toronto.

Good news for Da Mao. Bad news for snowmen.
