Eleven Views of the Smithsonian National Zoo #10

 I finished up my visit with a stop at one of the zoo's hidden gems.  Located so far off the beaten trail that it's easy to miss, the complex known as Amazonia with its massive interior rainforest.  On multiple levels you will see fish, flora, birds and even little White-eared Titi Monkeys (Callicebus donacophilus) roaming freely with you. 


 Do you see the Titi Monkey up in the tree?


 Beyond the rainforest, there's also a section devoted to amphibians with lots of Poison Dart Frogs, including the now extinct in the wild Panamanian Golden Frog (Atelopus zeteki).
