On November 8th my brother and I went to the National Zoo in Washington D.C. I felt like I had stumbled upon some great secret: hundreds of amazing animals at a free zoo.
I saw five pandas; I don’t believe I ever saw any of their eyes as they were all sleeping in elaborate, surely uncomfortable positions. Orangutans climbed ropes overhead, three Golden Lion Tamarinds engaged in a high risk wrestling match (these animals looked up to some evil deed), and an armadillo curled up so statically it might as well have been a rock.
There was also a lion, a terrifying and beautiful creature. I stood particularly entranced by our first stop in zoo. Eventually, I lost interest moved on to the adjacent tiger, then the rest of the zoo.
BUT GET THIS! Apparently 15 minutes after we left the lion, maybe 6 minutes after the Tiger, a deer, a live, wild, foolish deer, jumped into the ‘lion’s den’, literally.
