A video capturing a giant panda playing in the snow amid a massive blizzard hitting the East Coast quickly went viral on Saturday morning.
Tian Tian was captured on camera rolling in the deep snow Saturday morning and loving life, perhaps celebrating the lack of human gawkers shut out by the storm.
The short clip has been retweeted over 110,000 times.
For any concerned viewers who thought Tian Tian might be feeling a little chilly in the cold temperatures, the zoo reassured everyone that a panda’s “thick woolly fur” is “perfect for keeping them warm.”
Giant pandas are from China and the 2000 remaining in the wild are largely confined to the Qin Mountains in Shaanxi Province, and the Min Mountains in Sichuan and Gansu provinces—both regions that experience snow. The creatures are well equipped to deal with the cold weather, thanks to their thick fur coats.
And while they’re pretty cute in normal circumstances, pandas plus snow are absolutely freaking adorable.
