Chinese pandas have been snapped recreating the cutest Goldilocks scene ever as they ate bamboo shoots around a tiny picnic table.
Four adorable pandas, named Shuangshuang, Chongchong, Xixi and Qingqing, gathered around a wooden table, peeling and eating fresh bamboo shoots.
Some of the giant bears were even perched on small chairs, before they gleefully went headfirst down a slide.
The treat for the bears at Chongqing Zoo in southwest China was a part of celebrations for the (human) Mid-Autumn Festival.

One of the pandas waddled towards a bunch of bamboo shoots which were laid out on a swing.
It then flopped down on the ground to eat before another panda approached, initially sitting on the ground before climbing onto the swing.
The amazing behaviour enraptured visitors as it mimicked the Goldilocks and the Three Bears fairytale.
The zoo – which has 23 pandas – is no stranger to odd behaviour entrancing visitors.
Last year, some animal fans become convinced that the pandas were no more than humans in cuddly suits.
A video filmed at Chongqing Zoo showed three pandas gathering around a wooden table and chairs to eat food left out for them.
As the trio sit down, a fourth panda enters the fray, before each panda stands on its hind legs to eat food from the table.

After the video was posted to X, formerly Twitter, users were split over whether the bears are real pandas or humans masquerading as the black and white bamboo lovers.
Some believed the animals were genuine, though plenty of others weren’t so sure.
One said: ‘That’s pretty damn good sitting at the end of the clip, [it] does it exactly how bears do. It would be hard for a man to sit back like that.’
A second added: ‘I wouldn’t even be mad if it was someone in a suit. At least that’s another bear free.’
Another questioned: ‘Sure it isn’t someone in panda suits?’
A fourth joked: ‘This video just reinforces my theory that pandas are actually humans in panda suits. That’s not a real animal.’
