Lions and tigers and pandas -- oh my -- are now available round-the-clock, thanks to a new app for Smithsonian's National Zoo.

Released on Aug. 1, the app features maps, guided tours and information on daily activities. It also includes an alphabetical list of animals, where hundreds of species are described in detail.

If a day at the Washington, D.C.-based zoo doesn't satisfy your appetite for animals, there are live cams and movies showcasing popular exhibits, including gorillas and flamingos

For fun, the app has a "Zooify Yourself" option that lets visitors add animal features (like a parrot beak and lion's tail) onto their photos, as well as animal "voices."

You can buy the app in Apple's iTunes store for $1.99.
