We checked out pretty much every exhibit at the National Zoo. Lions prowled about. Leopards napped. Elephants paraded. The tiger roared – actually it is more of a bellowXmoan. Mama Panda snoozed and the youngest one sat and snacked on bamboo. A silverback gorilla showed off and the orangutan seemed to play with the visiting kids through the glass. There is an enclosure for a hairy screaming armadillo – I would have loved to see that creature but he didn’t make an appearance. I was surprised to find no bears – black, grizzly or polar; only a cool Andean bear and those adorable Pandas. I got my critter fix. Got my carousel fix too. I rode a lion!
To add to the fun, they have the ground decorated for Boo at the Zoo. Those are some really creative volunteers.
