O V E R V I E W
Resource:National Zoo's Animal Cams
Provider:Smithsonian National Zoo
Summary:Take a virtual field trip to the Smithsonian National Zoological Park where you can see many animal exhibits streamed live through webcams
Description:When you get to the site you'll see a menu of WEB CAM exhibits on the left side of your screen that include:

Amazon River Fish
Black-footed Ferret
Cheetah
Fishing Cat
Flamingo
Gorilla
Kiwi
Lion
Octopus
Orangutan
Panda Bear
Tiger
...and many more!

Click on any one and a new page opens. You may have to scroll down the page slightly to find the screen where you can watch the live footage. Sometimes you can see the animals quite clearly, and other times they are out of camera range. Remember that the Smithsonian National Zoo is on Eastern Standard Time - so if you visit after sundown and before sunrise Eastern time, you may see nothing but a dark screen.

In addition to viewing the web cams, you'll find "Fact Sheets" and "Photo Galleries" that you can explore to learn more about the animals featured on these web cams. Bookmark this site so you can return often!
