Washington DC Zoo


Went to the Smithsonian run zoo in Washington DC. Saw a panda bear for the first time!



Also saw two orangutans climbing up a big pole onto the "O Line, where they can move from one enclosure to another, or just hang out up high. They have a loooong arm reach, and look very casual when they climb. Very happy to have met the Librarian!

Zoo is smallish, built on a slope like Taronga, Sydney. Worth going early in the morning in summer, before animals disappear into the shade.
