Hello,

While in the museum studies program at GW, I took a course which went to the Washington Zoo, part of the Smithsonian, and they have a set up for teleconferencing with schools.  I don't remember names, etc, but by calling the Zoo, 202-673-4800, you might connect with the right people.
The proper title is National Zoological Park.
