The national zoo, Washington is home to more than 2,000 species of animals, reptiles, and birds living in close harmony with nature. About one-fourth of the animals in this zoo are endangered and hence special care is taken of them. Some of the zoo highlights are the pandas, the Sumatran tigers, western lowland gorillas, Asian elephants, cheetahs, white-naped cranes, and North Island brown kiwis. You can have a look at the underwater life of the Amazon in the Amazonia exhibit. Cheetah Conservation Station, Grevy's zebras, dama gazelles, vultures, and red river hogs are some of the most visited areas at the elephant trail. Have a look at the feeding timings, kids especially enjoy seeing the feeding of the animals.
