This is the amusing moment when an adorable panda cub joyfully frolics in the snow while attempting to balance on a log.

Heartwarming footage shows Katyusha rolling in the fresh ice while struggling to find her footing in the Moscow Zoo on December 23.

General Director of the Moscow Zoo Svetlana Akulova said: 'Katyusha's performance on the balance beam and a bit of floor breakdancing at the end.'

Katyusha, born in August 2023 to parents Zhui and Ding Ding, is the first giant panda cub born in Russia.

Akulova also announced plans to reunite the panda parents in 2026 for a second mating attempt.

Pandas Zhui and Ding Ding arrived at the Moscow Zoo in 2019 to mark the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Russia and China.

The zoo's staff spent several months training at a Chinese nursery to learn how to care for pandas properly.
