Watch: Panda hilariously picks a fight with a snowman - and loses

This is the hilarious moment a panda decided to take on a snowman in a fight – but lost out big time.

Staff at Toronto Zoo in Canada decided to build the giant snowman for Da Mao after heavy snow fell down on the city recently.

But the panda didn’t seem best pleased about the powdery intruder and decided to pick a fight.

Da Mao started scratching the snowman aggressively before deciding that the best thing to do was to climb on his head.

Unfortunately for Da Mao, the head rolled off the body and took him with it, leaving him flailing around hopelessly on the floor.

But the panda didn’t give up there, and went on to climb on top of the now headless snowman – before backflipping to the ground again in a gloriously uncouth fashion.

Eventually Da Mao trudges off, humiliated by losing out to the stationary snowman.

The footage has unsurprisingly gone viral, being viewed over 12,000 times since it was put online on Tuesday.
