A pair of giant pandas on loan from China's Sichuan Province have been spotted making the most of Finland's snowfall.
Adorable Jin Bao Bao and Hua Bao, known as "Lumi" - meaning snow - and "Pyry" - which translates to snowfall - in Finnish, have been captured on camera rolling around in the snow in their new home at the Ahtari Zoo.
They were quarantined for one-month at the zoo after setting off for the zoo on 18 January.
Serving as a friendly pair of "diplomats", the pandas are expected to receive a warm welcome from locals when they first meet the public on March 3.
To help the pandas adapt to their new environment and safely pass through the quarantine period, staff at the zoo have been closely monitoring them day and night.
"I think they did [have jet lag] in the beginning. I had jet lag myself, so I woke up during the night and I checked them through camera and they woke up in the same time with me," Ahtari Zoo veterinarian Heini Niinimaki said.
