An Andean bear at the Smithsonian’s National Zoological Park enjoys the winter weather.  Although the Northeast has been plagued with massive storms and frigid temperatures this winter season, Washington, D.C.  has only received one to two inches of snow thus far. Despite the light snowfall, the bears at the National Zoo are intrigued and enjoying it. (Photo by Mehgan Murphy)
