Zookeepers build panda a snowman, what happens next is adorable

A panda was caught on video playing with its new friend: a snowman.

Zoo keepers at Toronto Zoo, in Canada, built Giant Panda Da Mao a snowman to play with after it snowed in the city.

In the footage, Da Mao is seen having a whale of a time with his new plaything, Daily Mail reports.

He starts off by scratching at it and then becomes more adventurous and climbs on top of the snowman.

But tragedy strikes when he falls off, decapitating his new friend. This doesn't deter Da Mao however, and soon enough he is seen climbing on top of the snowman before flopping over.

He then continues to scratch and climb onto the snowman and is later seen rolling around in the snow.

It sure looks like this panda was having a lot of fun.
