ZOOVILLE — If you’ve never wrangled a pair of toddlers, you don’t have even an inkling of this zookeeper's hilarious plight.

This saint of a man is only trying to inject a bit of medicine into the mouths of a pair of pandas, but they won’t let him complete his task without a frisky fight.

The pandas climb on the keeper’s back, pull on his arms, grab his legs and otherwise become as squirrely and unmanageable as possible, yet the man continues on with a determination of one who has danced this particular dance before.

Just when you think that keeper will throw in the towel, he successfully gives one panda its medicine, which stops it in its tracks. With only one panda left the wrangle, the job is quickly done, and the keeper practically runs out of the scene.

It’s unclear if the pandas just want to play or if they know exactly what’s going on and are resisting their medicine, but either way their fight to the finish is hilarious and adorable.
