The San Diego Zoo's Panda Cam



The San Diego Zoo's Panda Cam. http://www.sandiegozoo.org/pandacam/index.html

Plot: The San Diego Zoo's live feed from the panda enclosure. In addition to the online camera, the site offers information about the pandas at the zoo and in the wild.

Genre: Websites, Animals

Reading Level: Some of the descriptions about panda breeding in the zoo's blog may be unsuitable for sensitive readers, but the rest of the page should cause no problems.

Similar Titles: Giant Pandas at the National Zoo, Panda Cam - Memphis Zoo

Personal Thoughts: The San Diego Zoo produced a welcoming website. The camera works much more quickly than other zoo's and the surrounding images, borders, and buttons offer very appealing visuals. Unfortunately, the overall presentation of information lacks somewhat, since the page presents facts with simple text on a simple background. Also, the information does not go into the depths other zoos, most notably the National Zoo, achieve. Still, for quick information and cute panda images, the site remains highly useful.
