Bei Bei had his first introduction to snow Jan. 21, 2016. Keepers took him outside to a small behind-the-scenes area and let him explore in a light dusting of snow for a few minutes while Mei Xiang ate her breakfast in her outdoor yard. Keepers said he wasn’t quite sure what to make of the powdery snow. (Shellie Pick/Smithsonian's National Zoo)
