Bath time for Tian Tian the giant panda at Smithsonian National Zoo

WASHINGTON, D.C. - It's bath time for Tian Tian the giant panda at the National Zoo!

Cameras capture how the 275 pound panda takes a dip in a tiny bath tub this week.

The male panda can be seen splashing around, and even washing behind his ears before shaking off some excess bubbles.

According to the Smithsonian National Zoo, giant pandas rarely bathe in the wild, but, Tian Tian likes to play in the water during breeding season.
