Still from the video
A hilarious footage of a giant panda working on his climbing skills has left social media users in splits.
Last week, the Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington DC, US, posted a compilation of Bei Bei, an adorable two-year-old panda, falling out of trees at the zoo’s panda house. Bei Bei’s clumsy effort immediately caught the fancy of the Internet.

The superstar in question is Bei Bei. He was born on August 22, 2015. Bei Bei made his first public viewing on January 16, 2016. Currently he and his mother Mei Xiang can be viewed via a panda-cam at the National Zoo.
Bei Bei, a giant panda cub who is a star attraction at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington, was operated in November 2016 after he indulged in gluttony. An emergency surgery was done to remove a 'lemon-sized mass of bamboo' lodged in his digestive tract. (Read more)
