A Sloth Bear sniffs a shrub during a lazy afternoon at the National Zoo in Washington, DC on Friday, December 5, 2009.

Founded in 1889, the National Zoological Park, also known as the National Zoo, was founded by naturalist and conservationist William T. Hornaday. The park sits on 163-acres within Rock Creek Park in northwest Washington, DC and is home to over 400 different species of animals.  The park is free and is open every day of the year, except December 25.

ABOUT

Ever since I borrowed a camera from a friend of mine eight years ago, I have loved sharing what I see through the lens of my camera with the world. There is nothing better than making somebody feel like they were right there with you. A brief moment in time, by way of photography, can say so much. I hope that these brief moments in time point people in the direction of someplace, something, or someone that they may not be aware of, and that they are curious enough to go see for themselves.
