When Lewis and Clark were exploring the West, two young bear cubs were sent East to President Jefferson. He kept the bears in a cage on the White House lawn and occasionally went on walks with them. Other strange presidential pets include: Alligator (John Quincy Adams), Elephant (James Buchanan), and Zebra (Teddy Roosevelt).

A gorgeous picture from my home state...how lucky we are to have the freedoms they fought for!
I think I'll "appreciate" President's Day more next year, when I have a kindergartener who has a vaca day.
Fun fact for the day!
