Tian Tian, the giant adult panda who lives in Washington DC’s Smithsonian’s National Zoo, was delighted at the sight of so much snow this morning. And the 18-year-old panda rolled himself in the snow after a winter snowstorm formed two feet of white layer on the ground.

The National zoo posted the video of Tian Tian on its official Facebook and Twitter handle and it has gone viral on the internet.
