WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Zoo is closing its Invertebrate Exhibit, citing rising costs and $5 million in needed upgrades.
The Invertebrate Exhibit’s operating cost was about $1 million. It opened originally in 1987. Currently, it houses cuttlefish, corals, crabs, clams and butterflies, among other creatures. The animals will be sent to new homes.
