China: Panda Rolls and Tumbles Playfully at Zhejiang Zoo

On October 4, 2025, in Ningbo, located in eastern China’s Zhejiang province, a delightful video was filmed at the city’s wildlife park showing a chubby giant panda in action. The panda ran around the enclosure, repeatedly tumbling and rolling across the ground before climbing up to paw at the glass wall curiously. Visitors nearby laughed as the panda pressed its round face against the glass, appearing to interact with them. Its clumsy but endearing movements reminded many Chinese viewers of scenes from the movie Kung Fu Panda.
