A new viral video features an adorable panda named Yuke, winning hearts all over social media with his curious antics.

In the video shared by the Instagram handle 'Mini Love Panda,' Yuke is seen picking up the bottle and examining it with great interest. The zoo staff, concerned for Yuke's safety, attempted to retrieve the bottle using a pair of tongs. However, Yuke was not ready to give up his new toy so easily.
Realizing that a different approach was needed, a caretaker, referred to as Nanny Li, came up with a clever plan. She tossed an apple into the enclosure, knowing it would catch Yuke's attention. As expected, the panda quickly spotted the apple and, in a sweet and seamless exchange, dropped the bottle in favor of the tasty treat.
The Instagram post was captioned, "A tourist dropped a Coke, which was spotted by Yuke. Fortunately, he hadn't bitten the bottle yet. Nanny Li tried to pick up the Coke with tongs but failed, so she quickly went in to get an apple to exchange for the Coke with Yuke."
