Went to the National Zoo on Sunday after church and an Indian buffet meal at Rajaji. Bit hot out so we spent more time inside the air conditioned indoor habitats. I’ve always liked the Invertebrates. Baby anemones and sea urchins!

Outside the Invertebrate House, a stray deer had wandered onto the zoo grounds from Rock Creek Park.

We also checked on the reptiles, tigers, orangutans, and pandas.

And the small-clawed otters were quite playful and fun to watch, as always.

We didn’t linger as it was just far too hot in the summer sun, so we’ll probably go back some other time in the Fall to stay longer. Full photoset from our zoo day here.
