Pandas at Moscow zoo investigate icy pond
Ru Yi seemed timid approaching ice but curious enough to touch it with a paw, before running away after the ice cracked.
Female panda, Ding Ding was braver and immediately got into the pound, smashing all the ice and even taking away a piece.
he pair were handed over to Moscow Zoo by Chinese President Xi Jinping at a ceremony with Russian President Vladimir Putin in April.
Beijing has loaned the pandas to Moscow for 15 years as part of a joint research project.
