Zoo Stamps Now Available

Washington, D.C. (AP) -- The National Zoo has launched a series of conservation postal stamps.

The stamps feature seven animals: the giant panda, clouded leopard Asian elephant, Panamanian golden frog, Kirtland's warbler, Scimitar-horned oryx and western lowland gorilla.

The stamps can be bought on-line at the Zoo's Web site and in the Zoo's gift shops.

To celebrate the stamp series, the Friends of the National Zoo will hold a Conservation Stamp Day on Nov. 14 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the zoo. The event will include talks at the giant panda habitat, the great ape house, Asia trail, and Amazonia.
