WASHINGTON — Need some midweek inspiration? Let the National Zoo’s panda cub Bei Bei remind you that no matter how hard you fall, you can always get back up.

In a video shared on Twitter by the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, the playful panda is seen getting caught in a tree branch — upside down. In a bit of a predicament, Bei Bei tries to right himself when … the branch breaks and Bei Bei goes tumbling down.

Don’t worry: The resilient rascal pops right back up and gets climbing again. The zoo also added that giant pandas are “built to withstand falls.”
