Bus 1: Zoo

     Today the buses took a quick stop at the Washington D.C. Zoo where students practically had to jog through the zoo to see the animals in the half-hour that was given. The Zoo was having a special pathway featuring Asian animals such as the panda, the red fox, elephants, and some others. However, most of these animals were indoors due to the cold weather. The panda bear got it's own showing room inside, so baby pandas and adult pandas could be researched. Visitors got to watch the pandas sleep and eat bamboo in their indoor habitats. At the Zoo researchers were sitting in a room where televisions showed all camera angles of the pandas to study them. Also at the Zoo there were other animals such as cheetahs, birds, and zebras around the Zoo. The short, but exciting adventure in the Zoo ended with one of the students on Bus 1 giving the bus driver, Winston, a stuffed animal panda bear who is now the new bus mascot, named Wynk.
