The panda bears will be able to keep cool this summer after the Xiangjiang Safari Park in China's southern Guangzhou city opened a new ice park.
Known for their fondness of cooler weather, the footage shows the pandas enjoying themselves in the newly constructed habitat.
A worker at the park said the snowy conditions will help to prevent the bears rough and tumble getting out of hand.
"It is hot in Guangzhou and the pandas living here would get whiny because of the temperature. The low temperatures will make the pandas feel more comfortable and behave more gently," the worker said.
