    Smithsonian National Zoo Claws and Paws Review (June 2022)

    I noticed no one's posted a review of the Smithsonian's new Claws and Paws Pathway, which I just found out about and then visited today. So, here goes (trying to be as complete as possible since I plan on deleting this account later to avoid distractions): North American Porcupine: This...
