Man Dressed In Panda Suit Challenges Zoo's Tian Tian

WASHINGTON (WJZ/AP)—A resident in Millersville, Maryland dressed in a panda costume is challenging the National Zoo's Tian Tian to a snow battle.

As snow blanketed the National Zoo on Saturday, Tian Tian could be seen rolling around making snow angels.

The video was posted on the zoo's Facebook page and on Twitter on Saturday morning. It shows 18-year-old, 264-pound panda Tian Tian rolling in the snow, throwing it on himself and lying on his back almost as if he's making a snow angel. The caption on the video reads: "Tian Tian woke up this morning to a lot of snow, and he was pretty excited about it."

But Tian Tian has a challenger!

Also on Saturday, a Maryland resident dress up in a panda suit imitated Tian Tian by rolling around in the snow. The video also includes the caption," I challenge Tian Tian to a snow battle."

So who do you think, who did it better?
