Man in panda costume challenges Tian Tian to ‘snow battle’

In the post’s caption, Perez challenges Tian Tian to a snow battle.

The Toronto Zoo’s giant panda cubs have already won the hearts and minds of the city, but now the zoo hopes to win them some worldwide acclaim.

So, he pulled on a panda suit and went out to play in the cold snow.

Named Tian Tian, the Smithsonian posted a video on YouTube showing the plump furry creature rolling about the white stuff, throwing it upon himself in glee.

Tian Tian’s adorable rolling even inspired one man to dress up as a panda and do some frolicking of his own, though the general consensus is than Tian Tian did it better.

Storm Jonas brought both the USA capital and NY to a standstill over the weekend, as the blizzard brought more than two feet of snow, causing 11 states to declare a state of emergency.
