Babies are some of the most adorable things on earth, and that includes baby animals. When it comes to cute baby animals, pandas might just take the top spot for being the most lovable.

After all, they are just like a big teddy bear and are known for being very playful and having amazing personalities. In the video below, you’ll see both of these things shine through in one little furry guy. Just like human kids enjoy playing with toys, so do baby pandas. Playing with toys teaches them skills about sharing and valuable life skills, but this little panda loves his ball so much that he’s not willing to give it up.

Xiao Liwu lives at the San Diego Zoo and was given the ball during his 18th exam to test his coordination. It didn’t take him long to realize just how much fun the ball was. When a baby panda goes through an exam, their caretakers will give them multiple objects to encourage them to play and learn about the world around them.

In addition to the ball, Xiao Liwu was also given a small branch and some bamboo to play with. He had seen the other two items before, but the ball was brand new to him.

Even when the caretakers tried to get his attention focused on something else, he’d go back to the ball and hang on to it tightly. Check out he video below and be sure to share it with your family and friends.
