Panda cub Katyusha is growing fast, weighing in at 14.8kg, although staff had quite a task getting her to sit still for her regularl check-up in the playpen at Moscow Zoo.
Footage published on Wednesday shows Katyusha playing with her toy, chewing and grabbing the rope as she scrambled around the bed.
"Well, how can you measure and examine such a fidget?" Svetlana Akulova, the zoo CEO, commented on her Telegram channel.
The female panda cub, born in August last year, was named 'Katyusha' after the popular Russian folk song, in a public vote on Moscow city's online portal.
Katyusha's parents Ding Ding and Ruyi were brought to Moscow from Beijing in 2019.
Their home, the 'Chinese Fauna' pavilion at Moscow Zoo, was inaugurated by Russian President Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping.
Giant pandas, native to China, are a symbol of conservation efforts worldwide. Ding Ding and Ruyi are part of a scientific initiative aimed at preserving and breeding the rare species.
