Cute panda cub Bei Bei recently got his first snow experience at the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington, DC, ahead of the big blizzard on the way this weekend.
Zookeepers allowed Bei Bei to "explore in a light dusting of snow" outdoors in a "small behind-the-scenes area" on Thursday while his mama ate breakfast, the National Zoo wrote on Instagram.
However, the baby panda "wasn't quite sure what to make of the powdery snow and made his way back inside quickly," the National Zoo said.
