Has anyone been to the National Zoo in Washington? I've never been but I've heard it's wonderful. They have a great website, too, and I've been poking around there in the past couple of days because someone sent me a link to their ferretcam!
The ferretcam is a webcam trained on the home of Georgia, a black-footed ferret. They're one of the most endangered mammals in the world, and Georgia gave birth to a baby, called a kit, six days ago. Right now the kit looks rather like a little white sausage with four stubby legs. Georgia spends most of her time sleeping, because ferrets are nocturnal, but the kit is quite active so there's often something to see.
You can also access other webcams from the National Zoo's website, and there are a lot of very, very cool animals to see. In addition to the webcams, they have some great information on their site about animals from all over the world, good photos, and all sorts of activities and fact sheets.
