    You skipped the Native American section? They were/are a huge part of American history. Shame.

    Against my better judgement and to my embarrassment, I found myself at the gates of the 'National Zoo', I usually stay well away from these places as they seldom show animals being natural.

    This Anteater has a baby on its back and the mother just kept going round in the same track all the time I was watching.

    The 'star' attractions were the 2 pandas and they were being natural, sitting a corner, in the shade eating.

    The Orang-u-tang at least was active along the rope bridge.
