Baby red panda surprised by zookeeper - video

A baby red panda has become the latest animal viral video star.

The video shows a red panda minding its own business when suddenly a zookeeper arrives in its pen.



The animal is incredibly startled by the unannounced arrival and falls over backwards while letting out a large scream.

The video was filmed at Maruyama Zoo in Hokkaido, Japan, and has gone on to reach nearly three million hits in just six days.

The two female pandas in the video are named Kin and Gin according to the YouTube description. They were born three months ago.

It is somewhat similar to the infamous viral video featuring a sneezing baby panda scaring the hell out of its mother, which has been viewed over 151 million times.
