The panda Da Mao was taken to the Toronto Zoo in March last year, and this is the first time in his life he has seen the scene of snowfall. Despite being in Canada for a short time, Da Mao quickly adapted to the cold weather and the snowstorms here.

Maria Franke, the Toronto zoo's panda care worker, said Da Mao was excited and excited to see the snow fall.

She said: 'He likes snow very much, especially snowflakes falling from the sky. He created himself a private ski trail from the hill in the zoo and enjoyed rolling there. He should have attended the Olympics'.

Although it was a little difficult to move on the slippery and slippery snow, Da Mao was determined to conquer this new thing.

In the video released, Da Mao managed to climb up to the top of the hill, and then gladly rolled his back from the top of the hill. Happy with this experience, Da Mao again lurched up the hill to ski again.

After resting for a while to grab a small piece of snow in his hand, Da Mao climbed to the top of the hill, and this time he practiced very nice somersault in the snow.

Zoo staff said the panda was trying to create a new winter sports called "Bear Bear" right in his barn.

They also said that it was fortunate that Da Mao liked snow, because he would enjoy playing with snow in the cold winter this year. Da Mao and his friend Er Shun will continue to live at the Toronto Zoo until 2018, after which they will be transferred to the Zoo in Calgary.
