Moscow Zoo’s giant panda cub Katyusha had difficulty falling asleep and decided to have some night-time fun, while her mother Ding Ding was sound asleep, as seen in footage released on Monday.
The video shows the adorable cub rolling on her back and climbing wooden rails.
Born in August last year, Katyusha was named after a popular Russian folk song, following a public vote on Moscow City's online portal.
Her parents, Ding Ding and Ruyi, were brought to Moscow from Beijing in 2019 and reside in the 'Chinese Fauna' pavilion at Moscow Zoo, inaugurated by Russian President Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping.
Giant pandas, native to China, are part of a worldwide conservation programme, with Ding Ding and Ruyi integral to the scientific initiative aimed at preserving and breeding the rare species.
In the wild, pandas are exclusively found in China. Through cooperative agreements, pandas like Ruyi and Ding Ding are shared with other countries to support conservation and breeding programmes.
