Forget Po and Master Shifu – this is the real life Kung Fu Panda!
Following the release of the third Kung Fu Panda film, this cuddly panda bear was caught on camera practising his best karate moves. The amazing pictures were captured by photographer Shingo Nakamura, from Japan, at Tokyo’s Ueno Zoo.

Nakamura, 49, said: ‘I went to the zoo to take some photos of the panda – but I never imagined I’d see something like this! ‘It looks so cute walking on two legs – in one picture it looks like he’s chasing food with a stick. ‘I think he was actually doing some leg training – they do training with the panda every day keep him fit, but it looks more like martial arts!
‘When most people see it they wonder what the panda is doing, it looks quite bizarre. ‘It was an adorable moment, I’m so happy I was there to see it.’

The third Kung Fu Panda film follows the character of Po as he is reunited with his father and discovers a long-lost panda paradise. However, his newfound happiness is threatened with the emergence of a supernatural villain (J.K. Simmons), and he has to go from student to teacher to train a village of bears to master the martial arts.
Kung Fu Panda 3 – to which Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan, and Seth Rogan also lend their voices – was released on March 11 after its original US launch on January 29.
