National Zoo
The Happy Frog
November 1, 1975 – November 1, 1985
A 200-pound bronze sculptured frog now welcomes visitors from his pedestle in front of the Reptile House. He is the design of William McVey of Cleveland, whose other local work is the statue of Winston Churchill in front of the British Embassy.
The statue is the gift of the Twentieth Century Club, a civic and study group of area women.
