Giant Panda Cam

Giant Panda Cam is a live view of the giant pandas at the Smithsonian's National Zoo, and the main thing you do is watch. They nap, they munch bamboo, they wander, and sometimes they do something so unexpectedly pandalike that you will want to tell someone. Daytime hours are best, because overnight there may be little in view. When you arrive, the live video is the page: no menus, no game, just bears with excellent snack habits. It is a reliable mood-lifter, and an easy tab to leave open while you work and glance at between emails. The cam depends on the animals being in view, so you may need to be patient, or check back at a different time of day when they are more active. It works on phones and desktops. The zoo's own page is the right place to check for news about the animals. If you like watching animals do very little, our other webcams will keep you going.
