There is at least one very happy resident today at the snow-covered National Zoo.

Officials posted a video of Tian Tian, the giant panda, frolicking with delight in the fresh snow. The male panda falls into the deep snow, rolls around in it and then tosses some snow over his head.

Tian Tian continued to enjoy the snow, according to another video posted by the zoo.

The snow is just right for #TianTian, but we're still not ready for visitors quite yet! The Zoo will remain closed...
