Whenever I visit the National Zoo, I always swing by the giant pandas. Unfortunately, the pandas aren't nearly as cooperative as some of the other animals. Every time I have visited them, they've hidden in the back, far from view, or up close, but showing off their least flattering parts. My last visit, however, was very different. Tian Tian, the male, was napping right out in plain view. It was a rare opportunity!
