A government shutdown. A polar vortex. An Academy Award Best Picture nomination for Bohemian Rhapsody.
The year is off to a terrible start, but here’s a bit of good news.
Since the federal government has re-opened, the Smithsonian’s National Zoo’s Panda Cams, which feed live, 24/7 coverage of the zoo’s three giant pandas, are back in service. Now you can once again watch America’s favourite (rented) pets—like the one pictured above, in warmer, happier days—without leaving the comforts of your expensively heated home.
Tian Tian, Mei Xiang, and Bei Bei, the Zoo’s resident giant pandas, don’t seem to mind the cold.
