A panda playing with a snowman is the pick-me-up we need right now

When everything seems as bleak as it can get, there’s something very soothing about watching an animal just loving life – which is why the reappearance of this gootage of a playful giant panda is so welcome.

This is the most important video I've ever seen. pic.twitter.com/a8Yu8apntI

The clip shows then eight-year-old Da Mao, in 2016, thoroughly enjoying demolishing a snowman, built for the giant panda by keepers at Toronto Zoo.

Twitter loved the lively interaction.

People should stop smoking weed and start eating bamboo, it looks like some good shit.

There is nearly no difference between pandas and my 3 year old https://t.co/mYZLyo4Zdo

I love them. But how the hell did these magnificent idiots survive this long?
