This was such a great vlog, Bill! Lots of clever shots. Hard to believe it's all free! (Minus that pesky parking) Glad Annette had a great day off! Thanks for sharing! 🐘

love the national zoo......we miss the pandas at the san diego zoo....we got to see the first birth of panda at the zoo...it was fun....love smithsonian in d.c.! :) prairie dogs are my favorite! :) wow..that crate looks like it tastes good :) thanks for taking us to the zoo!!! had a lot of fun!

We have a pretty incredible zoo in NC (huge) but I really enjoyed the DC zoo a lot, especially the pandas! I love lemurs! I have a panda purse I bought in the gift shop at the DC zoo. I think Annette looked more annoyed than surprised by the alligator puppet :) Like, "there he goes again being silly".

Thank you. Saludos from Stockton, California.

Both times we have been to DC we have not visited the zoo- nate really wants to make a trip back and we should def make this part of our plans since it’s free- and who doesn’t love pandas! Glad pappy got to come along

Great video thanks for sharing!

Looks like a really good zoo, we hope to visit Washington DC one day 😁👍 ... Love the pandas liking the milk crate my(Liam) favourite animal and the shocking eal bit what a laugh 😁.. Great Video

Great Video!!!

she seemed angry instead of hangry (hangry= hungry+angry) when she said don't tease her lol.after that she seemed a bit sad as if she was shy from embarrassment... somehow she made it through the video plus thanks to getting chocolate and vanilla ice cream made her feel better about it because it played the embarrassment off ...i think u hurt her feelings but the real chocolate saved the day.i felt sorry for her because she's acts adorable and she is really cute.if u bought her the ice cream with chocolate 🍫 then that would have been really sweet and made up for half the other half would be to apologize or just edit part of the termite viewing out.other than that.....its a wonderful video with nice close ups Papa u are still a co0l c0ol co0ol guy and very coooo0l and fun to hang around with cooo0ol i love this zoo.i've been there many times.

That looks like a pretty nice zoo. We have one here that they have been expanding upon for the last ten years or so and it have really come a long way since I was a kid.

cool

Very interesting zoo love visiting zoos like seeing all of the different animals. The Cape May zoo in NJ is a good one and the Roger Williams Zoo in Rhode Island definitely want to check this one out.

Hi How many hours did you spend on ?

I Was Wondering...I'm 9 and I'm Going There in July...I Was Wondering If It Is In Maryland?

Do you remember what kind of snake that was first? It's head looked huge! ewww....

You've got to let "Pappy" out more! He needs air and sunshine too! What sort of noise does a panda make? is it a growl or, I heard a whistle? When my older daughter was in the Brownies, we took them all on a trip to the National Zoo. The girls got a sex education and then got to see a baby giraffe born. It was quite an experience!

Lol went to that zoo just last week and the bird house is still closed

What is truth?Mei Xiang is a great mom in the past 20 years and she gave birth to a baby in this year but her mental state is really not well after delivery until today. No love is greater than maternal love even just animals. Although Mei Xiang is elder but she always does her best to entertain everyone in the Smithsonian's national zoo , doesn't it? I never saw any zookeeper to take special care for her and only stole her child for medical exam when she ate meals. She fears losing her child after she lost Bei Bei. Smithsonian's national zoo often gave used cardboard boxes and baskets dipped in honey for Mei Xiang to lick and no other nutritious food like other zookeepers of other countries give apples, carrots and wowo tou for giant pandas every day. In the zoos of other coutries, the panda zookeepers would give the baby panda human care to make mom panda relax and eat delicious food but SNZ never did . Mei Xiang sometimes makes abnormal sounds loudly we all worried about her but SNZ ignored it. Every baby panda depend on mother to survive but humen in SNZ almost not treat Mei Xiang as a human but only a tool for biological research. Please SNZ to give well treatment for giant pandas there. The South Korea is your model to take care of giant pandas if they are 6-star and SNZ will be 1-star that poor standard and not professional at all.

You didnt see any gorillas?

6:15 you mean meerkats?

Just so you are aware, sir, I was showing this to my amazing 3rd graders and we were all shocked and sad to hear your foul language. There are lots of teachers and kids who are going to be interested in your video. Maybe find a way to bleep out that word.
