Be sure to reach the end of this article to see the full video!

Sure, bathing human children is hard. But it no way compares to bathing three rambunctious panda cubs.

Looking after panda cubs sounds like most people’s idea of a dream job, right?!

After all, what could be more fun than frolicking around with a group of cute little bear cubs all day long? This video shows that yes, it’s an amazing job, even if the pandas are being uncooperative.

The panda cubs at the zoo all needed bathing. The keeper had tried to put this activity off, knowing how difficult it can be. But eventually, he realized that there was no more getting out of it.

So the keeper stepped into the panda cubs’ enclosure. The cubs could tell what the bucket of water in his hands was for, and they were determined to put up a fight. Yes, they hated bath time that much!

The three cubs all surrounded the keeper and unleashed their “ferocious” (meaning very cute) attack.

As the keeper scrubbed one of the cubs’ faces the others tried pushing the human away. Sadly, the cubs’ strength was lacking, meaning the keeper was able to just keep at his work.

One of the cubs realized that the attack wasn’t working. But the other one climbed up and tried biting the keeper. Again, the keeper just ignored the little nips.

The cub who was having his face washed broke free. Then he and two of his friends were able to launch the attack together. They all started clawing and biting. The keeper got pushed aside slightly, but it didn’t stop him from working.

Then the keeper turned to the most aggressive attacker and started scrubbing that guy’s face.

The video cut out there. But supposedly, the pandas kept up with their ineffective attack until they were clean. At least they had delayed the scrubbing by seconds!

Luckily, someone was filming this cute attack, and the footage appeared on YouTube. It soon went viral.

In fact, to date, over 4.4 million people have watched it. The video also has more than 50,000 likes and 2,100 comments. People have been saying things like this:

Just imagine being this keeper’s wife. Every day, he comes home, and when he gets asked if he had a hard day at work, he responds that he did and goes on to list some incredibly cute events with the panda cubs.

It’s enough to make anyone envious of their partner’s profession, even if you have a kind of fun job.

Being a panda caretaker is a pretty amazing job. The pay is a little low at $32,000 a year, but the job would have to be based in China, where the cost of living is less than America. Plus, the job also covers meals, board and provides a vehicle, meaning that all you need to spend money on is fun! The major downside is that there are very few panda keeper job openings and lots of applicants. Still, you have to apply to be in with a shot of getting the job, right?
