Hi, Gen. A GREAT zoo website, and great zoo to visit if you’re on the east coast, in the DC area, is the Smithsonian National Zoo. It just recently reopened, but they too have a number of web cams, at least some of which are livestreaming. My favorite one, which is livestream, is the one for the great Panda exhibit. We’ve got a pair of pandas on “loan” (I use quotes because I don’t consider it a loan if you have to pay millions in order for them to be “loaned”) from China, and have had at least two panda cubs born here. We do get to keep the babies for a few years, but have to send them China once they’re about 3 years old.
Their website is: http://www.fonz.org and the direct link to their webcams is: https://nationalzoo.si.edu/webcams .

We are LOVING explore.org which you posted. We have seen the northern lights (great since our alaska trip is cancelled). And at work (nurse) I had the polar bears up so as things got crazy or people felt stressed the polar bears brought a calming happiness 🙂

In reply to Julie.

Great options I took notes I’m always looking for new nature related things for my toddlers. We currently live on 3 acres with a small pond so we are always outside finding new adventures. Now that is spring we have a ton of frog eggs in the pond so it’s a daily walk to the pond to see any new tadpoles. We can’t wait for the fire fly’s to come out or as my 4 year old calls them butt bugs!

What a great picture! Now that my youngest is older, it would be fun to go camping! Nature is very calming especially for those of us with anxiety.

Even though there’s no eruption at this time, volcanos are always high on the list of fascination for my young people.

I love all your sites and ideas Gen. San Juan Islands are great for kayaking with orcas and seeing seals when you can get outside with family again. Two sites I enjoy with my 2nd graders are zoo.org/webcams. They have live webcams and instagram videos on the webpage. Also earthcam.com/events/animalcams/ has the best webcam for places around the world and different animals. When you click on an amimal you can see recent sighting videos too or feeding times to go back and watch during feedings. I will be Sharing some of your sites with my families because now Washington has shelter in place till May 4th as of today.

Thanks for the great ideas!
Search Winter the dolphin at Clearwater Marine. She is the real dolphin from the movie Dolphin Tale. She is amazing to watch! I bet the kids would really enjoy this one.

Wow!!! Thanks Gen. I wouldn’t even have thought this would be possible. What I wouldn’t do to be able to freely go out and explore. This isolation is getting a bit much now, especially as I live on my own. I crave that human contact from my family. Can’t wait for the next post!! Love to you and yours xxxxx
