"Bei Bei is working on his dismounts out of the trees," writes the zoo in a caption accompanying the short video. "Pandas are adept climbers and will climb and fall during play sessions."

"Bei Bei is a bit of a daredevil. Although eating and sleeping are still his favourite pastimes, the giant panda cub loves to climb trees," explains the zoo. "Lately, he has been climbing trees in his yard and sliding all the way down...Bei Bei has broken several branches in the process, much to the dismay of the zoo's horticulturalists."
Since Friday, the video has been 'liked' over 7,800 times and retweeted over 3,800 times.
It's making a lot of people laugh:
I think the @nationalzoo is being polite to BeiBei with this caption . . . https://t.co/BCgDDN6muD

Conveniently named "#BeiBei" because that is exactly what he says as he waves and exits tree in least elegant way possible https://t.co/0pHhoLLOUK
