In honor of the Washington, D.C. Capitals making the NHL finals, the Smithsonian's National Zoo's giant panda Tian Tian was given a special treat of a bamboo hockey stick, ice puck and a fruitsicle star!

 

The Stanley Cup also made a surprise appearance at the Zoo, much to the delight of local Caps fans.
