It’s certainly been a zoo-y week! There was a bobcat on the
loose, with sightings reported from here to B-CC (see message #121682,
passing along an alert from the principal of B-CC High School, now proven to
have been a false alarm). And while this extremely
cute bobcat was hogging the media spotlight, there was a Twitter war going
on between fans of the National Zoo and fans of the Virginia Zoo over who had
the cutest babies. To quote the catchphrase of weird news devotee Dave Barry,
we are NOT making this up! See: https://twitter.com/VAAquarium/status/824271514870620160/photo/1

Zoo-mania will continue into next week with the “Bye Bye to
Bao Bao” parties, starting with the exclusive-to-FONZ event next Saturday from 9
– 11 AM:
https://nationalzoo.si.edu/membership/news/bye-bye-bao-bao,
which gives you plenty of time to join, and get your members-only
invitation. Or you can choose from one of the EIGHTEEN other public farewell
events, either at the Zoo or online, taking place between Thursday, February 16
and Monday, February 20. See the link
below for the full schedule of send-off activities:
Bobcats coming and going, pandas going…. Life is always
exciting when the Zoo is your neighbor.
