Adventuring: The National Zoological Park Part I

December 15th, 2007

I made a trip to DC to take in some science a while back, and I’m just getting to posting the photos.

Today we take in Mammals from all over the National Zoological Park and the Amazonia exhibit there as well.

I see zoos as a sort of bank for preserving species. It’s too monumental a task to prevent short-sighted people from destroying their environments, so we shelter these animals in reserves in anticipation of a time when more enlightened minds take charge.
