As a blog that has a vested interest in making sure that the National Zoo continues to supply us with a stories about adorable baby animals, we perused this update from the Zoo about yesterday’s earthquake with great interest. As it turns out, pretty much every animal at the zoo — apes, lemurs, monkeys, shrews, snakes, komodo dragon, cuttlefish, beavers, ducks, lions, tigers, and flamingos, to name a few — kind of freaked out as the ground shook, throwing hissyfits that involved not eating food and something called “belch vocalizing.”

But not every animal freaked out about the movement.

According to keepers, the giant pandas did not appear to respond to the earthquake.

Pandas: setting the example by keeping calm and carrying on.
