Our @NationalZoo cheetah cubs had a sit in the snow yesterday with mom Amabala.
Even though they have thick, fuzzy coats, cheetahs aren't built for the ice and snow. That's why the cheetahs at our Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Virginia, have the choice to spend time outside in the snow and always have access to heated dens to warm up.
The cheetah cam is a great way to check on the cubs from your own cozy den: s.si.edu/3ZyPJz0

From a previous snowy day, this photo shows our Daguerre Memorial capped with snow outside the Smithsonian American Art Museum and National Portrait Gallery
French artist Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre introduced the photography process in which an image is produced on a sensitized plate of silver-clad copper. In 1839, American practitioners turned Daguerre's experimental method into a commercially successful way to make affordable photos. People flocked to studios to pose for portraits.

@offshoreoddity We’ll make sure @stri_panama passes along the message. Just checking: your earthly possessions are mostly ants, right?

@smithsonian Like, please tell him or her I love them and would give all my earthly possessions to them.

@DLHNews5 All the animals at the Zoo and at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Virginia, will continue to be fed and cared for. A shutdown will not affect our commitment to the safety of our staff and standard of excellence in animal care.

@smithsonian Who’s taking care of the Natl Zoo animals after the 12th?

Due to the government shutdown, Smithsonian museums are temporarily closed beginning on Sunday, Oct. 12, along with our research centers and the National Zoo.

As the keeper of memory for the nation, it is our privilege and responsibility to tell accurate and complete histories. As has been recently reported, in July, a placard was removed from @amhistorymuseum’s exhibit “The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden.” The intent of the “Impeachment” section of the exhibit is to reflect all impeachment proceedings in our nation’s history.
The placard, which was meant to be a temporary addition to a 25-year-old exhibition, did not meet the museum’s standards in appearance, location, timeline, and overall presentation. It was not consistent with other sections in the exhibit and moreover blocked the view of the objects inside its case. For these reasons, we removed the placard. We were not asked by any Administration or other government official to remove content from the exhibit.
The section in question, “Impeachment,” will be updated in the coming weeks to reflect all impeachment proceedings in our nation’s history.
