| Xiao Qi Ji - Smithsonian National Zoo |
The “Stay In!” event for the week would, in normal times, be the headline event of the "Get Out!" events column, as the National Zoo would usually invite the public, with great fanfare, to the public debut of their newest panda cub -- as they've done with each of Mei Xiang's previous cubs, Tai Shan, Bao Bao, and Bei Bei.
During the pandemic this will take place livestreaming at the Zoo in Virtual Reality….but under the present circumstances, that still counts as one of our in-the-neighborhood events. (We just have to make due, these days!)
If you ever went to see Bei Bei, Bao Bao, or Tai Shan when they were first introduced to the public in Real Life, you know this will be time well spent!
Here’s the invitation from the Smithsonian National Zoo:
