WASHINGTON — The easy reaction to this video of Bei Bei, the young giant panda at the National Zoo, is to buckle under the weight of the cuteness.

But there’s a bit of an edge to the way Bei Bei takes on his “jolly ball” (the zoo’s term for it) in this video shot over the weekend. Being on the wrong side of Bei Bei doesn’t look like it would be that much fun.

Still — the cuteness …
