This scraggly groundhog has found an acorn and seems to be thoroughly enjoying it. Groundhogs love to eat grass and—especially—your garden vegetables, but they vary their diet with nuts and other things that appeal to the squirrel in them.

Wattled Currasow in the National Aviary
This bird is probably the most photographed of her species (Crax globulosa) in the world. She lives in the Wetlands room at the National Aviary, and she has a habit of sidling right up to visitors to see if they have anything good to offer her. Or perhaps she just likes the company. Or—to think more like a bird—perhaps she thinks she needs to keep an eye on us when we encroach on her territory. In the wild, the Wattled Currasow is an endangered species. At the Aviary, though, she lives a pretty soft life.
