Washington, DC: Fauna



There is an array of animals in our Capital City.  A wide array.  Another US treasure is the National Zoo.  On 163 acres, inside of the District of Columbia, animals are exhibited in natural-habitat-like settings.







A special exhibit included two Pandas.  This guy was thoroughly enjoying gnawing on a stack of bamboo provided for him.









There were birds, small and large.
















And, a few cats.






Then, there was this albino squirrel entertaining visitors on the lawn of the National Art Gallery . . .








. . . and, a Mallard inverting to feed off the bottom of a pond in the National Mall. Animals on display and animals displaying themselves.  Fauna in the big city.
