Kids' Farm is one of the newest exhibits at the National Zoo. At the Pizza Garden, Caring Corral, and other hands-on features, visitors can learn that most of the food we eat every day comes from farms, and taking care of animals takes time, dedication, and knowledge.
Bald Eagle Refuge
The Zoo's Bald Eagle Refuge is home to a male and female pair of bald eagles. The Refuge is located in Beaver Valley, across from the Mexican wolves. The exhibit
features an interactive video kiosk highlighting conservation success stories.
Beaver
Valley, on the Zoo's forested Valley Trail, is home
to many North American mammals and birds. Here you can see beavers,
river otters, seals, sea lions, Mexican
wolves, bald eagles, hawks, and ducks.
You can see a black-footed ferret and black-tailed prairie dogs in the Small
Mammal House, and collared peccaries outside the building. Black-footed ferrets nearly went extinct in the 1980s, but Zoo scientists have helped save the species.
