Russia's first giant panda cub was seen trying to get out of its playpen in Moscow Zoo.

The footage, released on Sunday, shows the adorable and feisty cub climbing up to a wooden bar and learning to walk around the enclosure.

"Escape from the playpen. Here we go. Get ready, keepers," Moscow Zoo's director Svetlana Akulova wrote on her Telegram channel.

Russia's first giant panda cub was born on August 24, while parents Ding Ding and Ruyi were brought to Moscow from Beijing in 2019.

The opening ceremony of the 'Chinese Fauna' pavilion at the Moscow Zoo was attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, to highlight the significance of the panda conservation programme.

Giant pandas are native to China, with a few leased to other countries for conservation purposes. Ding Ding and Ruyi are part of a scientific initiative aimed at preserving and breeding the rare species.
