Qi Zai, the world’s only captive brown giant panda, recently turned the snowy grounds of the Qinling Giant Panda Research Center in Shaanxi Province on the Chinese mainland into his personal playground. 🐼❄️
Visitors watched in awe as Qi Zai rolled around on the fresh powder, rubbing his head and body against the snow. He even climbed up the play structures, coating himself in glittering white flakes like a fluffy snow creature.
After his snowy adventure, Qi Zai wandered calmly through the enclosure, pausing to rub against the tree trunks before giving himself a good shake to fling off the snow. His final move? A cozy bamboo snack break. 🎋
These playful moments aren’t just adorable—they highlight the vital work of centers like Qinling in protecting panda species and studying their behavior.
Keep an eye out for more snowy panda fun as Qi Zai continues to charm visitors this winter! 😊
