Panda Ding Ding's cub, Katyusha, was seen resisting her mother's attempts to teach her cleanliness at the Moscow Zoo.
Footage published on Thursday shows Ding Ding grabbing Katyusha and dragging her to a small pool but she only managed to get her daughter's paws wet, as the cub crawls away.
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.
