This is the heartwarming moment a panda was filmed cooling off in a pool by splashing water on himself.
The beginning of the clip shows the panda scratching its belly before using both paws to spray water onto his body.
The giant creature is relaxing in a pool surrounded by rocks in his enclosure in a sanctuary in Beijing, China.

A hot environment can be bad for pandas as it can cause dehydration and metabolic problems.

This affects their reproduction abilities and their cubs’ health therefore it is important that pandas keep cool.
Therefore this clever panda certainly knew what was best for it by cooling down in a big pool of water.
