For eagle-eyed watchers of the Smithsonian live cams — cameras set up at several of the exhibits at the Smithsonian Zoo, especially including the panda habitat — the chance to watch a couple of pandas frolic in the snow couldn’t be missed. And while the Smithsonian live stream is still up and running (and, dare we say, a good way to pass the time as you’re stuck inside in between bouts of snowball fights) and there’s plenty of opportunities to keep an eye to see if the pandas get into their own snowball fights, the Smithsonian Zoo has stepped in to make things easier. They edited a minute-long clip of the pandas slipping, sliding, and using their bodies to sled in the enclosure. They are rolling about and having a great time in the weather and it’s really too cute to be missed. That being said, a single minute-long clip is just not long enough. If you want to keep an eye on the live-stream, make sure that you go to the Smithsonian website and toggle between both cameras. As of the morning of February 1, it appears that at least one panda is taking a nap… but if you watch closely, another one is pawing around in the snow, ready to have some wintry fun.
