WASHINGTON — Some of the National Zoo’s animal cams are going away.

On June 1, the Asian small-clawed otter, clouded leopard, orangutan, fishing cat and naked mole rat cams will go dark. 

The change comes due to the zoo no longer being able to operate the software on the older live cameras.

In a news release, the zoo says it hopes expanded funding and new technology will bring new viewing opportunities in the future.
