They live!!

Even though we didn't see the big pandas (or really, many animals at all), I'm very happy with what is likely our last trip to the National Zoo, because I got to see (the butt of) a red panda.  I hadn't known that they restocked after so negligently killing the last pair and so was thrilled, and was even more delighted to see their new, upgraded habitat. The cutest animal (the bear-cat-raccoon-fox-puppy) in the world lives, luxuriously, at my Zoo!!  That's all I need :)
