Hmm. In contrast to the Bronx Zoo, which has had a
problem keeping the critters inside its boundaries, the Oakland Zoo is taking
in non-paying guests.
(You’ll recall that within a couple of months last
year the Bronx Zoo lost both a cobra
& a peahen.
Both restored (so we’re told); but who knows what other exotic animals got out
that the press never got wind of?)
No—Oakland Zoo has apparently become a destination
for local fauna. Skunks, foxes, coyotes, wild turkeys & deer—they’ve
all found ways to break into the zoo.
& stay. & enjoy relative security & seemingly never-closing buffet.
I like the idea that the zoo co-exists with the
natives.
