Bei Bei, one of the Smithsonian National Zoo’s giant pandas, fell from a tree in his enclosure Thursday, his tumble captured on the zoo’s 24-7 “panda cam.”
Fortunately, the boisterous 2-year-old wasn’t hurt in the incident.
“Sometimes when #BeiBei goes out on a limb…it breaks. But he’s fine! Giant pandas are built to withstand falls, so he popped back up and climbed up again. #PandaStory,” the zoo tweeted Thursday.

Bei Bei’s antics have received national attention since his media debut in December 2015.
The panda is part of an exchange program with China.
He’s expected to be returned to his home country when he turns 4.
