The Amazon rainforest is one of the most biodiverse places in the world. But roads cutting through the forest create dangers for the animals there.

The Zoo is temporarily closed due to a bomb threat. Reopening information will be posted when it becomes available. All other Smithsonian museums are open. Out of an abundance of caution, staff and visitors have been evacuated as the Metropolitan Police Department investigates.

Sometimes, animal moms can use a hand when it comes to raising their young. When keepers noticed a red panda was accidentally causing some injuries to her cub, they stepped in to provide care for the cub and help her to recover. https://t.co/p5wtMfxaDG
