Panda-monium moment a mother panda runs out of patience in trying to teach her cub to climb a tree and roughly manhandles it in an unsuccessful attempt to get it going.
Shocked zoo visitors watched the mother panda repeatedly grab the little cub by its fur and lift it up to the tree.
However, the little panda refused to play ball and quickly dropped back down onto the platform every time, where it then attempted to flee.
In the footage posted from Heilongjiang Province in China, the cub seemed determined not to climb the tree, to the frustration of its mother that refused to give up until both of them ended up toppling off the platform and landing on the ground.
The little panda was repeatedly seen flailing its paws in the air as it struggled to try and get away, and in the final scene, its mum lost her temper and flung the cub through the air to land in a pile of bamboo shoots.
Online commentators joked that even pandas need to do their homework when young, and failure to study skills for future life will result in punishment.
Online commentators like ‘Angelwc’ said: “Teaching children is crazy.”
And user ‘My Little Cutie’ said: “This mother is just too impatient. The baby will crawl naturally in due time. There is no need to be impatient.”
While the user ‘Orchid Haoyuo’ said: “Haha, cute.”
