Smithsonian National Zoo- Gorilla, Lions

Next was the Great Ape House (opened in 1981) and is separated into two sets of enclosures. One houses six western lowland gorillas. The other houses six orangutans (we did not get to see them travel along the "O-Line" cables between the two buildings). They have such personalities and incredible dexterity. Our last major stop was the Great Cats. There are 3 lions and 3 tigers. We got to spend time watching the lion and listening to him as well as seeing the tigers! We did spend a little time seeing some of the smaller animals (i.e., lemurs).

If you travel to Washington, D.C., you MUST visit this GREAT zoo! Reserve FREE tickets in advance - lots of public transportation options and parking if you should drive.Læs mere
