Happy birthday month, Scorpios!
We went trick-or-treating for things to do, tossed out the candy corn and found 50+ king-sized goodies for a Halloweekend that’s boo-zy, adventurous or kid-friendly.
But first, some (heart) breaking news: Make your plans (and reserve your zoo passes) to say goodbye to the pandas.
đŒ We’ve just learned that Mei Xiang, Tian Tian and Xiao Qi Ji are heading back to China by mid-November.
We’ll deeply miss D.C.’s unofficial mascots. The weather is getting colder, and we all need something fuzzy to hold onto…
So, we’re back to the question that will hopefully warm your hearts: Who will be D.C.’s Next Animal Obsession?
Give it up for our finalists, Acadia the bald eagle and Basil the one-eyed Virginia opossum!
The final round of voting is open now at nbcwashington.com/zoo. đ± Follow us on Instagram and check our stories on your Friday afternoon coffee break so you can cast an extra vote.
