{"exhibit":{"title":"Was that a grizzly bear on the Mall?","description":"<p class=\"p1\">In 1807, two grizzly bear cubs briefly lived on the White House grounds. They are just some of the animals, wild and domestic, who made their home on the Mall. In the late 1700s and early 1800s, the land of the Mall was a grazing space for farm animals. The Mall has also been a home to wild animals brought to Washington for scientific research, especially before the establishment of the National Zoo. Local wild animals such as deer, squirrels, rabbits, beavers, foxes, and birds have made the Mall their home from the earliest years through today.<\/p>","credits":"","featured":0,"public":1,"theme":"","theme_options":null,"slug":"animals","added":"2013-03-20 01:55:15","modified":"2014-11-06 10:32:08","owner_id":5,"use_summary_page":1,"cover_image_file_id":null,"id":17},"item":{"item_type_id":6,"collection_id":null,"featured":0,"public":1,"added":"2013-03-22 10:44:45","modified":"2014-02-27 15:35:27","owner_id":5,"id":264}}
