National Zoo panda Tian Tian climbs a tree
National Zoo panda Tian Tian climbed a tree and had some fun coming down.

Tian Tian, a giant panda at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., decided to show off his climbing skills.

The 20-year-old panda dangled precariously from the tree and even hung upside-down at one point. Despite weighing nearly 300 pounds, he never fell out of the tree. The oldest giant panda on record is 38 years old, according to the Smithsonian's National Zoo.
