Perhaps to give their panda charge a little bit of the winter spirit, zookeepers at the Toronto Zoo built a snowman in their panda, Da Mao's, enclosure during a particularly snowy December in 2016. What followed was Da Mao's natural reaction. To first attempt to conquer, and then to destroy it in as cute as fashion as possible.  

It all started when the zookeepers at the Toronto Zoo decided that they would surprise the loveable black and white animal with a fun snow surprise. They went into his pen and began to roll the snow into big balls, stacking them together to make a traditional snowman, reports Time.com. We are sure that they probably had more fun than a job should allow when they put the snowman together.

When they introduced the panda, whose name is Da Mao, to the snowman, his reaction didn’t disappoint. He went into he play area and began to show his interest in the new arrival. One he saw that the snowman wasn’t going to harm him, Da Mao decided that it was time for a wrestling match. As it turned out, we’re not sure who fared worse – the panda or the snowman!

He starts off by clawing at the snowman, almost as if he’s trying to figure out what he’s all about. He tries to hug it before rolling around on the ground and then goes back to wrestling with his chilly friend.

As the video progresses, Da Mao even starts to grab handfuls of the snow and stick it in his mouth!

When he realizes that the snowman isn’t going to fight back, Da Mao climbs up on top of it, perched high in the air like a king on his throne. It seems like he feels pretty proud of himself, until he loses his footing and falls right off! When he falls to the ground, the snowman’s head falls right along with him. And this is just the start of Da Mao’s attack against the snowman!

The video is absolutely adorable and viewers can’t get enough of this cute panda. Watch it for yourself and get a load of this furry animal trying to attack the snowman that’s invaded his space.
