It's been years since I visited the National Zoo, but you were lucky to see the Panda before they return to China. Have a great T day Mae. hugs-Erika
Ohhhh I want to go to the wonderful place. Great photos. Have a nice evening.
Wow.. you really get around! These are great photos although I'm not a real fan of zoos in general.
I agree, I am not a fan of zoos. The pandas need such help, though. Great photos celebrating life.
Love the zoos. Meercats are my favorite. Years ago John Cleese hosted a "Nature" doc on meercats. It was fascinating!
Fun photos! The meerkat made me laugh.
I was lucky enough to see the pandas when I visited the National Zoo. It's so sad they will be leaving the U.S. for political reasons.
If you ever make it to Kansas, I will take you to our zoo where the elephants roam in the third largest area in the states. We built an area that will rival many zoos. We got six to add to our one living African elephant, then added two more males to the mix later.
Ohhh, thank you for the tour! I haven´t been to a zoo for ages. Sad with the pandas.
glorious pandas and tamarins. I really love red pandas. so very cute!
Seeing animals reminds me of our own human-yet-animal nature. I am sad to hear that the pandas are being recalled because of political reasons.
The National Zo is one of my favorite zoos to visit. Wonderful captures of all the critters. I will miss the Pandas, I am sorry they are being recalled. I should go to the zoo soon and visit them before they leave. Thank you for linking up and sharing your critter post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Well captured!
Hello Mae :=)
Thank you for the tour of the Zoo. It's fascinating to see animals we would not normally see in the wild unless we visited the places of their origin.
All the best

I'm so glad you got to see the pandas at the National Zoo before they return to China. It's a bit sad that they're being recalled, but I'm sure it was a memorable experience.
It's such a privilege to visit a zoo and see these animals up close. I love your close ups! Amazing poses!
You took some very nice photos.
Isn't sad the pandas have to go back. They are fun to watch. I'd like to see the meerkats. I used to go the National Zoo a lot back when I lived in the area.
Fantastic... I enjoyed the visit there in your Zoo. Sad for the Pandas must go back, even though they have a good home now.
