There's a baby panda at the National Zoo. The Substitute Panda Cam first ran during the federal government shutdown from October 1st to October 16th in 2013. During the shutdown, the National Zoo's panda cam was taken offline, much to the dismay of its loyal following. Substitute Panda Cam helped capture priceless panda moments while zoo staff were on furlough and panda learned how to survive (mostly) on his own. The Substitute Panda Cam is back in 2020 (after returning in 2018 and 2019) as we're in shutdown status once again, this time from a pandemic. Created by Jordan Baker.
