Watch Adorable Pandas Play In The Snow At DC Zoo (Video)
Giant panda Mei Xiang and red panda Asa were captured on video playing as snow fell at the National Zoo in D.C. Saturday.
WASHINGTON, DC -- The falling snow on Saturday in the D.C. area was the perfect opportunity for a weekend romp for Giant panda Mei Xiang and red panda Asa.
The National Zoo tweeted a video, embedded at the bottom of this post, that shows Mei Xiang rolling around on a hill as the snow falls.
Giant pandas are certainly no strangers to the white stuff, as they are native to the mountains of western China, which gets plenty of snow.
