miguel, good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning. few details released about the fatality. police discovered the body as they were looking for two missing people. a deadly fire of historic proportions. the most destructive wildfire in colorado history has claimed at least one life and 346 homes. last thursday night, many families learned their homes are gone. >> we're planning on rebuilding. >> reporter: joan grant and tim doucy have lived in the neighborhood of mountain shadows for 12 years. >> it's a huge empty feeling. you have intense pain. >> reporter: with flames still on the move, crews are once again in the air. >> you got one little smoker outside the retard line down here. do you got eyes on that? >> reporter: air force c-130 swept across colorado springs dropping fire retardant, dousing hot spots. >> real nice drops there. real nice. >> reporter: for hometown firefighters on the ground,

>> we're going to put you on a front line. >> reporter: shifts are 24 hours long. many don't know if their own homes are standing. >> it's been difficult. my wife had to evacuate on her own. >> reporter: this morning more than 20,000 are still evacuated. but for those whose homes are no longer in the top of the fire, their first chance to go home. >> i'm so excited, my heart's beating. >> reporter: the lucky ones in a community of homes ravaged by fire and now death. police have not yet elaborated on their search for that second missing person. as for this fire, it is roughly 15% contained. the president traveled here. he h declared this area a disaster. matt, back to you. >> all right. miguel almaguer in colorado springs this morning. miguel, thanks very much. as we mentioned that blistering heat wave from the rockies to the east coast is not helping firefighters with their efforts. we've got al roker upstairs with how hot it's expected to get today. al, good morning to you.

>> good morning, savannah and matt. first of all, the weather conditions fing, savannah and matt. first of all, the weather conditions for the colorado wildfire fire, high park fire, waldo canyon, unfortunately dry storms so lightning strikes may trigger more fires. gusts of 35 miles per hour. what's going on? well, huge ridge of high pressure pushing that jet stream, keeping it way up to the north. this is not going to break into next week we're talking about. look at some of these temperatures we've got. we've got dangerous heat, hurricane watches, heat advisories from texas, nebraska to new york and down to savannah, georgia. temperatures 105, dodge city 107. a lot of temperatures are record setting all-time highs, 103 in lexington. as we move to saturday, the heat continues, saturday through monday. all-time records possible from nebraska, kansas, oklahoma and on through the southeast, on into the gulf coast. we're talking temperatures that are going to be all-time highs

and heat indexes between 115 and 120 degrees. matt. >> al, thank you very much. we'll get your local forecast in a moment. now the fallout over supreme court's historic decision of president obama's overhaul. republicans vowing to repeal the controversial law. pete williams is our justice correspondent. good morning to you. >> good morning. left the new health care law nearly intact, tossing out a punishment on states that don't have the medicare requirements. a huge victory by the obama administration made possible by one of the court's conservatives. outside the court cheers and boos when word of the blockbuster 5-4 decision reached the crowd. >> elated. >> the government is out of control. >> reporter: the supreme court upheld nearly the entire health care law called the affordable care act, finding it a legitimate use of congress's power to tax. anyone who doesn't buy insurance has to pay a penalty, and the

justices said that amounts to a valid federal tax. >> they have reaffirmed a fundamental principle that here in america, the wealthiest nation on earth, no illness or accident should lead to any family's financial ruin. >> reporter: mitt romney in washington spoke soon after the decision came out. >> what the court did not do on its last day in session, i will do on my first day if elected president of the united states. that is, i will act to repeal obama care. >> reporter: opponents of the law claimed congress's power to regulate commerce did not extend to people who chose not to buy something, that is, who don't have insurance. chief justice john roberts and others agreed with that saying the law could not be justified as use of a commerce power. then roberts joined the court's liberals upholding the law instead under the congressional power to tax people who choose not to get insurance. >> the individual mandate and

the rest of the statute with it is constitutional. it remains the law, and it's going to go into effect. >> reporter: chief justice roberts concluded his opinion with this, quote, the court does not express any opinion on the wisdom of the affordable care act. that judgment is reserved to the people. some of those people were among officials of the 26 states that challenged the law. >> obama care has been upheld and it's deeply disappointing. it's especially disappointing to see the way it turned out. >> reporter: house republicans say they pushed for a vote in two weeks to repeal the health care law even though it's unlikely to get through the senate. >> a lot of resolve amongst our colleagues and american people to stop a law hurting our economy, driving up the cost of health care and making it more difficult for employers to hire new workers. >> reporter: most of the new health care law remains in place along with the requirement that by 2014, all americans who can afford it get health insurance or pay a penalty on their tax returns. savannah.

>> pete williams at the court for us. hours after the decision the house voted to hold attorney general eric holder in contempt of congress. they say he's withholding documents tied to a failed gun tracking correspondent. capitol hill correspondent kelly o'donnell has details on this story. kelly, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. this all began a year ago as congress started investigating the arizona gun operation known as fast and furious. republicans don't think the attorney general was directly involved in approving it. they are upset because they say he has gotten in the way of them finding answers. now, some democrats, 17, did vote for contempt. but the overwhelming majority say this is about politics and it's unfair to the attorney general. without enough votes to defend the attorney general, democrats used their feet to send a message to republicans. they marched out of the capital. >> shame on you. shame on you. >> reporter: and straight to the

cameras. >> we should be about the people's business and stop wasting time over stunts that will have nothing to do with the future growth and development of this great country of ours. >> reporter: but republicans were making history inside. reluctantly, they say, delivering a strong reprimand to eric holder. holder is the first ever cabinet official to be held in contempt of congress. >> i don't take this matter lightly. i would frankly hope it would never come to this. >> reporter: house republicans argued holder failed to turn over subpoena documents that might explain why the justice department gave congress false information. >> it took him nine to ten months to provide that information and, whoops, sorry. that's not good enough. >> reporter: last year the justice department denied and months later acknowledged that federal agents let guns cross the mexican border in an operation called fast and furious. they intended to track the

weapons to cartels. but when a border patrol agent was killed, two of those guns were found at the scene. >> we were lied to repeatedly and over a ten-month period. >> reporter: holder lashed out calling contempt a political stunt. >> a crass effort and great disservice to the american people. they expect and they deserve far more. >> reporter: there's plenty of political fallout. some see this as an embarrassment for the administration. others say it's a legitimate use of congressional power. the next steps are a little unclear. contempt does have consequences. it gets referred to the u.s. attorney in the district of columbia. eric holder is the top law enforcement officer in the united states. there is a relationship there. matt. >> kelly o'donnell on capitol hill. kelly, thank you very much. david axelrod, senior adviser to president obama's election campaign. good to have you here. niced to you. let's talk about this. anybody who thought that the

supreme court's decision on health care was going to end the debate was delusional. the republicans scheduled a vote july 11th in the house to repeal the law. is this a fight the white house is going to engage in? >> i think the court spoke, we're going to move forward on implementation. kelly suggested i don't think there's an expectation the law is going to be overturned in congress. the republicans think they can make a political issue of this. they are going to have to explain why they want to roll back a law that's already producing so much good for the american people. kids who are 26 and under on their parents insurance. senior citizens getting help with their prescription drugs. folks who don't have lifetime caps on their insurance anymore. there's so much working, why do they want to roll it back. >> the good news is the supreme court says the mandates are constitutional. the bad news is they say they are a tax. back in 2009 the president adamantly denied health care reform ways going to be a tax on the american people. does he now agree this

legislation, this law is a tax. >> whatever you call it, matt, a mandate or tax, what it is is a penalty on the very few americans who don't -- who can afford health care, don't pay for it, end up in our emergency rooms getting free care and we all pay for it. >> whatever you call it is important. if it's called a tax, it's going to hurt. >> i suggest you direct that question to mitt romney, chief proponent of the policy when he was governor of massachusetts because he said it was fair to make sure there weren't free riders driving up everybody's insurance rate. that was right then. you should ask him why he doesn't think it's right now. >> the supreme court said it's constitutional. the latest numbers from the "wall street journal" poll, 41% of american think this is a bad idea compared to 35 who support it. a pew poll put that negative number at 48%. does the president win a victory in the supreme court and take a

beating for it in the voting booth in november. >> first of all, i think you're asking the wrong question. i don't think at the end of the day it's did the president win, mitt romney win, did the american people win, the middle class stronger, are they more secure because of this law. the answer to that, i'm the parent of a child with a chronic illness, i think you know that from the time she was quite young, i was one of those americans 30 years ago who almost went bankrupt because the insurance company wouldn't cover what she needed to stay alive. that's not the country that we believe in. >> let me ask you to comment just briefly at the end here, david, on what congress did yesterday, voting to hold eric holder in criminal and civil contempt of congress. paraphasing mr. holder said the american people deserve better. what is the president's reaction. >> kelly o'donnell said this is an embarrassment to the administration, i think it's an enbearsment to congress. mr. holder turned over 11,000 documents, more than 11 times testimony from the administration.

they wanted a confrontation, the political theater. they ought to get to work on problems significant to the american people. >> david axelrod. good to see you. >> good to be with you. thank you. >> fourteen minutes after the hour. here is savannah. tom brokaw nbc news correspondent, chuck todd nbc's chief correspondent and political director. gentlemen, good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> chuck, i'll start with you. we followed the president's repeated attempts to sell it to the public. is this supreme court decision another opportunity to have a conversation with the american people and sell something unpopular. >> a small one. they have a small window to do this. we saw it in our own polling. there is a middle of folks in here, mostly live in the suburbs, skeptical of the bill but think something needed to be done. he has a shot. i'll tell you, i do think there is a hardening on this issue. you're not likely after a week to hear much about it. >> what's governor romney's play, use health care to galvanize the base, i suppose or say every day i'm talking about

health care i'm not talking about the economy. >> immediate indications are,el keep this as a central part of his campaign. i spoke with a senior republican yesterday. i think throughout the party they were stunned immediately, especially by the decision having been written by chief justice roberts. then they began to hear from their constituents, raised more than $3 million in a few hours yesterday. the mandate/tax is still what they believe, a game winning kind of issue for them, so it's game on. >> i was going to say, in some ways this is the republican side of things, a lawsuit at the supreme court but were handed a huge political argument in the form of this is now considered a tax. how powerful will that be on the campaign trail? >> i think it's really powerful in house and senate races. i think presidential, it's a really tough decision on romney how much do you talk about this because what you said earlier. any day he's not talking about the economy, are the voters going to punish him for this. the obama folks believe there's

fatigue on debating health care. i do wonder if it's going to fade on the national front. romney might be a flawed attacker on health care. house and senate races, that's another story. let's talk about chief justice john roberts. tom brokaw, not many people saw this coming. what do you make of this nixon-china alignment with liberals on the court. >> i'm the last person who would try to read the mind of the chief justice or anyone for that matter. conventional wisdom was mandates would get knocked out and kennedy would be the swing voter in all this. the supreme court by 3-1 say mandates go. now chief justice shows up. i do think it lowered the temperature about the debate about the politicization of the court. that's a good thing about the company however you feel about the decisions they are making. >> california, you don't think we'll see -- >> i just like to say one more thing if i can. chuck and i were really very

flattered ts morning to see those crowds out there to hear us talk about health care. >> we always have to increase security when you're here. >> have us back more often. >> chucked to, tom brokaw, the traveling band. now a check with natalie morales. >> good morning, everyone. confessed shooter of an unarmed teen trayvon martin returns to court to plead for freedom on bail. george zimmerman's $150,000 bond revoked this month when they learned zimmerman and his wife misled the court about a website with funds for his defense. peter madoff is said to plead guilty in the role in his brother's financial crimes and agree to a ten-year prison term. the younger madoff will turn over assets. after burning down $3.5 million mansion for insurance

northeast and new england, all our maroon 5 fans got dumped on for 15 minutes. that's moving through quickly. can you see the rest of the country, we are going to look at the record heat. we do have a rick of strong storms stretching to the mid mississippi river valley. plenty of sunshine in the north, gorgeous day, sunshine, 72. temperatures in triple digits over 27 states from the southwest into the northea here's what's happening in your neck of the woods. >> good morning to you. taking a live look over the embarcadero, mostly clear conditions. we have a full deck of clouds. some of your bridges are socked in with fog. that will not be the case all day. temperatures are going to warm up nicely, 71 in oakland, 78 in redwood city and 75 degrees in lovely santa cruz. three-day forecast works like this. we're going to drop off through sunday and then we soar come monday. that means temperatures will be right on track with seasonal averages for the fourth of july. that's your latest weather.

>> it's very healthy to have open transitions about what life might be like, living with other peers, counselors. i don't think parents have to overwhelm kids but open up ideas, think about how situations will be different and how possibly they can handle them. >> inevitably it can happen that a parent gets a desperate phone call, come get me, the crying and tears or in a letter. how do you know when you shouldn't pack up and bring your child back home. >> preparation is really key both in terms of parents and children. if you've done your homework and read different types of articles, you get a sense of what to expect. definitely a parent needs to call a camp if they really feel their child is in lots of anxiety, severe feelings of homesickness. they have to trust the camp they know what they are doing, worked through this time and time before. >> you say it's a healthy thing for a child to feel a little bit

of that separation anxiety, homesickness. >> of course it is. we all want to know we come from a home where we're loved and our parents love us and it's a wonderful feeling. now you have a new family you're trying to get acclimated to. >> a lot of camps have a policy, they limit phone calls or the number of letters kids can write. you say it's important to get to know what the policy is and honor that. >> all policies, become very familiar. them you understand how the camp will handle things. calls can be very, very trying for parents and for kids. you need to prepare for them and keep them upbeat and engage your children. but letters should be countless. they should be unlimited. you can't get enough letters. i still save and read my children's let prefers part of your advice, save the letters. why is that? >> well, a few reasons. one is children can't believe what they write to you when they look years later. also, if something happens later in the summer and the child had a difficult time, it's a frame of reference you say you told me how you handled the situation. sounds like it would make as

soon as again. they are just memories. they are wonderful. >> how do you know if your child's bout with homesickness isn't something more serious. i have a friend whose sister sent her son off to camp. he wouldn't eat, having a terrible time stressing out. how do you know when you do need to finally make that call and say maybe it's too much. >> if homesickness is too severe they are sensing it. they are putting in place all the tools they have at their arsenal. again, the parents need to be in contact with the camp to work it out. oftentimes there's angst expresseds in a letter and they move on. you're rereading and rereading and thinking this but it's not the case. call the camp and enlist them as your partner. they are there to make a success for your child. >> they are well trained. jill, thanks so much. >> thank you. coming up next, why the marital conflict over money never ends and how you can cut the tension. that's after these messages.

this morning on "today's" money, couples and financial fights. a new survey shedding light on how widespread and consistent the problem is revealing couples argue over money an average of three times a month. here with advice on how to cut down the conflict is "today's" editor jean chatzky, author of "money rules" and betsy, clinical psychologist. in full disclosure, you both went to college together. >> we did. go penn. >> let's face it, finances are really, it comes up above children, chores and work. >> that's right. we got this new survey from aicpa, and it shows 27% of couples say they argue about money every month. people in the 45 to 54 age group don't just argue three times a month, they argue four times a month. it seems to get worse as you get older. >> that's interesting. why is that?

>> 45 to 54, it's colliding on you at once. you have children perhaps college age. you have to fund their college education. hopefully if you have your parents still with you, you're taking care of their aging and needs as they get older. you're also facing your own retirement. let's face it, you're probably at the height of your earning potential. your body is starting to ache. you're thinking of your own health care. it's colliding at once. >> sounds terrible. >> good times, everybody. wow. then throw in the economy. >> so when we look at people whose financial situation has actually deteriorated in the past couple years, they fight even more. i think what betsy said is really important. the people who fight most of all are the people feeling like they don't have enough money. >> okay. so let's break it down. you say there's something -- when people are fighting, it's usually over things, need versus want. >> the definition of what's a want versus what's a need. if i think getting a manicure is a need and my husband does not

and it shows up four times a month in our budget, that's going to cause a fight. people also fight about not having enough in savings and having unexpected expenses. >> that's something else. >> exactly. that roof leaks. all of a sudden you don't have the money to pay for it. ka-boom. >> literally the rainy day fund. >> how do you counsel couples to deal with this? >> when you talk about needs and wants, it's simple. you may need the new stove, you may want the vacation or flat screen tv. in fact, it's very interesting, al, because the want is very important in terms of the need. marriages need the need and the want. you have to give yourself some pleasure. life is short. marn marriages need to thrive. there's lots of stress on the marriage. you can't deny needs are critical to the future of your family. >> the other problem for a couple is being deceitful about finances. i mean, this survey really reveals some shocking statistic.

>> top of the list, we hide purchases from our spouses and don't talk about our purchases. >> especially a major purchase. >> a major purchase. here is where all of these problems could be solved. if you can sit down with your spouse and have a conversation where you agree if i spend $200, $500, whatever number makes sense for your relationship, we are going to talk about it first. other than that, maybe we don't have to talk about every cup of coffee we buy. when it's something big, we're going to at least have a discussion. >> betsy in the survey, it says more than 55%, more than half the couples say they don't communicate, don't talk about that. how do you go about changing that? >> we know communication is the number one problem in marriage. particularly in regard to money. money is just a lightning rod for conflict. what we say is go on a money date. make date night once in a while, at least once every three weeks before those bills are paid. make it money night.

go somewhere pleasant you both love. give back to the marriage, away from the kids, stressors of your job. talk about your budget. talk about what you need to do. if you can't get out from under it and can't stop arguing. surrender. you need from a financial consultant, financial planning. it will only help you move forward. >> jean, dietitians tell you if you want to try to lose weight you have to track what you eat. it's the same with your finances. >> if you track what you're spending, it solves almost every one of those problems. then you can look at that and say is that a want, that is a need, can we free up additional money to save. it gets at the heart of every single one of these issues. >> jean sachatzky, betsy, thank you very much. up next one more song from maroon 5, but first these messages. ♪

good morning to you. 9:56. i'm gars garls. some help is on the way for dozens of people who have been out of their homes for a month. a four-alarm fire in san francisco's mission district last month forced 37 people including seven children out into the streets. four people were hurt including two firefighters.

about half of the building's residents still have no permanent place to stay. a fund raiser will be held this weekend at the sunday streets event in the mission. time to check that forecast with meteorologist christina loren. hey, good morning to you. temperatures are really comfortable to start. we are already in the 70s in sun city, for example, gilroy, you're at 71 degrees, 63 in san jose, and we just hit 69 degrees in sunnyvale, headed towards the 70s and 80s in the warmest cities across the bay. and temperatures are actually going to come down even more so as we head into the upcoming weekend. so that's good news as much of the nation suffers from a heat wa wave. we've got a heat wave on the way for next week and the winds are picking up, helping to clear the cloud cover out of the way. still mostly cloudy across most of the bay area. 80 degrees later on with full sunshine. sun breaking through the clouds in concord at about noon today. as we head throughout the remainder of the weekend, temperatures fall to about 76 degrees on sunday, and we heat you right back up into monday

next week. temperatures will be totoasty. enjoy the cooldown. here's mike with the drive. enjoy the friday drive while it lasts as well. a pretty light one. highway 4, a slowdown, typical. but that's the worst of it now. concord, walnut creek, walnut creek interchange. all feeder routes including the caldecott heading to the bay bridge which had its metering lights turned on, about 7:15 this morning. sunol, easy drive. skieses still looking hazy there, some clouds, but they're breaking up as well. the sun starting to hit the grass and making it even browner. the golden gate bridge, where we can hardly see the golden gate bridge because of the fog there. but that, too, is burning off, so no problem as far as those speeds. watch it through clouds. >> thanks for joining us. for the latest traffic and news, check out nbc bay area on facebook. ♪

are you a grazer or do you stick to three meals a day? do you prove protein or crave carbs? >> madeline is here to show us how to eat well.

>> there are four eating types people fall into. you were nice enough to keep your own food records. >> it was just one day. >> that gets you thinking about what kind of eating personality you have. let's begin. the most popular is the grazer versus three meals a day. grazing means you want to eat all through the day. you can actually do this successfully. there are pros and cons to each. if you want to eat all through the day, this is about a lunch that is going to be probably around 500 calories. if you wanted to divide it up through the afternoon instead of having something in the afternoon, spread it out or eat it all at one time. >> does your body digest it differently? is it better for your mojo, so to speak? >> it's not better unless you have a medical illness like diabetes. you can have structured meals three times a day. you can eat it all at once or divide it. you can overconsume because you're constantly thinking about food. we are fueling all day, but for what? think about that.

>> are you a frazphras grazer? >> i don't eat three times a day. i barely eat in the morning and i love lunch. that's my main meal and i rarely eat dinner. but there's the liquid part. >> we are not counting that today. hoda, you're more of a grazer. you eat throughout the day. >> she's all day long. >> it's a lot. >> it's like a trough. >> what do you mean a trough? >> this is easier to figure out. we have the protein lover or carb craver. what do you gravitate to normally? the carbs. >> if this were available, i would eat this. the oatmeal is available if the crew leaves us one. these guys can eat. it's unbelievable. >> you naturally gravitate to that. would you look for this? or eat what's there? protein or the carb. >> you're going to be out of

focus the next three weeks. >> i look better out of focus, right anthony? >> think about this. this is taste versus volume. the taste per is i want intense sweetness, real fat, real sugar, all this. or i don't care what it takes like as long as it's a lot. >> i would rather have something delicious. >> 300 calories for a single scoop of the real stuff or three scoops of things edited down. lower fat. >> when hoda was telling me what was on her list. >> i had five lifesavers, six donut holes, half a donut, part of a brownie. this was all before a show. that's what i eat. >> we are going to where your speciality is. >> she gets all those donuts and feels bad about it so she plops an orange in the middle. >> i want people to think i'm eating fruit. >> sweet tooth or fat tooth? >> sweet. >> you can satisfy this in all kinds of ways.

have it with fruit, have it with smaller amounts of things that you're doing when you're nibbling on those thix. then you have a fat tooth. smooth and creamy things. they don't like sweet things. these are low calorie ice cream or yogurts or a latte. what do you like? you don't have a sweet or fat tooth? >> i like salty. i really would prefer to have chips and guacamole. >> thank you. i feel thinner. >> up next, why do we need our zoos? this is "today" on nbc.

. now on "today's" call of the

wild, why we need zoos. if you ever stared at animals throughs plexiglass walls, you

might find out zoos can be their only hope for survival. >> for the 175 million people who attend accredited american zoos and aquariums every year, it's an opportunity for families to do something together while learning about animals, an incredible diversity of nature. julie scardina is here to tell us more. this is a beautiful animal. it's a bobcat. >> that's right. this is jerry. >> we have a jerry, too. >> they're both adorable. >> they are both adorable. >> jerry is one of our most plentiful cats here in the u.s. so many cats species are in peril. up to 80%. the lions, the tigers, the cheetahs you might meet at busch gardens are in peril. >> his mother was a rescue? >> that's right. >> he's not vicious? >> he was hand raised so he certainly is comfortable around people. he is one of our ambassador

animals. >> cod doesn't like him. >> the awareness you get when you go to meet animals at a zoo or see animals at a zoo, we do need to help these animals in the wild. some of the most passionate people are people that work at the zoo. they become inspired and go on to save those animals. we'll go ahead and let jerry jump off. there you go. we'll bring out another really popular species at the zoo. here come our penguins. everybody loves penguins. >> look at this one. what? >> what happened to my girlfriend? s. >> you want to come up? >> shall i get him? >> no. that's all right. >> he'll peck your eyes out. >> kathie lee, hang on to this one. just put your hands around there. i'll pick him up. >> hoda, be nice to the penguins. >> i'm trying to be. >> as popular as penguins are,

13-18 species of penguins are in decline. the great thing about zoos is we share our expertise and knowledge about raising and caring for animals. back in 2000 when there was a major oil spill off of south africa, 20,000 penguins were saved, not only by seaworld personnel but zoos around the world. even now, we are doing what's called a chick bolstering program helping chicks abandoned by their parents because they can't find enough food and helping those chicks go back out to the wild. >> he likes hoda, but hoda doesn't like him. >> let's go to the tank. >> here are some of our bamboo sharks which are also hatched out at seaworld. >> you can't get up close and snuggly with them. >> you actually can. you can put your hand in there. they have a weird feeling skin if you go one direction or the other. they are sleepers. >> like a little razor.

do they like to be petted? >> they are not moving. >> they are only about a year old right now. they are nocturnal and they hang out on coral reefs. >> hang out and do what? nothing. >> what do they do? >> they are all part of that big old ecosystem. >> let's bring out the spider monkey. >> we need to protect the coral reefs, as well. >> oh, my gosh. >> sweetie. >> grab a banana down there. as popular as primates are, 50% of primates are actually threatened with extinction. they are not pets. his story is very sad, actually. she was a pet. she didn't know how to care for her or raise her at all. she was found in a dumpster. she still has metabolic bone

disease, which is why she can't move around as an adult primate. >> she has to be cared for. she would never survive. >> the thing about zoos, we are often the only places that people can turn these exotic pets into so that we know how to care for them and other places that we partner with that do wildlife education such as conservation ambassadors or bush wild sanctuaries. >> thank you, julie. >> she is adorable. >> actress lisa kudrow. we love her. our special fourth of july series on how to find all things made in the good old usa. have an awesome weekend. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com
