Panda irony as cub to get name on the day the zoo closes again
The National Zoo has announced that they, along with the other members of the Smithsonian Institute, will be temporarily closing again in an attempt to reduce the worrying spread of COVID-19. At the same time, life at the zoo continues to go on with births, deaths, and the endless care that goes into sustaining thousands of creatures. National isn't alone - a handful of other zoos are also shutting back down, or at least scaling down. Many seasonal zoos are closing soon for the year anyway, pandemic or not. With a vaccine on the horizon, hopeful spring will look a little brighter and happier for all of us. Now it's just a question of making it through the winter.
