This astonishing video shows a panda superstar continuing his fascinating series of stunts in his enclosure as he goes up a wooden structure.

Footage recorded at the Beijing Zoo, the oldest zoo in China, captured the naughty giant panda climbing a tree structure as amazed spectators watched on January 18.

The recording further showed the fluffy male bear, named Meng Lan, standing on the top of the formation in an attempt to show off in front of the zoo visitors.

He then climbed down and proudly paraded around the enclosure, seemingly satisfied by his performance.

The stunt followed another stunt of Meng Lan's, where he climbed and walked on the horizontal bar of a swinging bench in his cage while maintaining perfect balance.

Meng Lan, who became known for his mischievous behavior, turned eight years old in July last year.

The giant panda made headlines in 2016, when it made an 'uh-huh' sound when a zookeeper nagged it for being too fat. It later refused to move forward in protest to the keeper.

Several years later in 2021, he once again hit the front pages when he broke out of his enclosure in front of visitors, by climbing up and poking his head over the wall of his habitat.

Giant pandas, a bear species endemic to China, are listed as 'Vulnerable' on IUCN's Red List of threatened species.
