A video of an adorable panda named Tian Tian just caught the attention of thousands of netizens in social media sites like Facebook. What makes it special is that the panda is taking a bath on its own.
The panda’s name, “Tian Tian” literally means “more and more”. Tian Tian is a male giant panda that is being cared at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute in Washington D.C.
According to Wikipedia, Tian Tian was born on August 27, 1997, at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda at the Wolong National Nature Reserve. Tian Tian’s father is named Pan Pan and its mother is Yong Ba.
“Rub-a-dub-dub #TianTian in a tub! Keepers provided him a tub of water with non-toxic bubble bath soap. He really soaked it up. He rubbed it on his ears—which is called scent-anointing. (Wait for the tail wiggle!) Pandas do not bathe regularly in the wild, but when Tian Tian is in rut—meaning he’s exhibiting behaviors associated with breeding season—he especially likes to play in water. #PandaStory,” as written in the Facebook page of Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute.
