Unlike some of us, the National Zoo’s lions, tigers, and bears are getting the day off. The zoo announced Thursday that it would be closed for the day due to the inclement weather.

But neither snow nor rain will keep these animals from frolicking about–as they love to do whenever it snows.

Listen, we’re pretty sure it’s a slow day anyway–we’d recommend keeping the zoo’s panda cam on today, where these pandas are likely to do some oh-so-adorable tumbling and bouncing…
