Giant Panda Bao Bao Has Her First Snow Day

16-month-old giant panda Bao Bao was delighted to wake up to the first snowfall of the year - and the first she's ever seen - at Washington DC's National Zoo.

Her mother, Mei Xiang, wasn't quite as overjoyed though. She had to deal with the cub's excitement.



There's probably nothing more soothing than a baby panda falling down a snowy hill.
