Today the First Lady of Puerto Rico and her family toured the zoo as did a large, sweaty man with no shirt who shadow-boxed under each misting station until staff called the police.
He was last seen sprinting towards Connecticut Ave.
Someone called to donate their mink coat for orphaned animals. Someone else called to inquire how much we were selling our alligators for and where they could pick them up.
The Asian Small Clawed Otters were very playful today.
I experienced my first "Code Green" Drill. This particular drill featured an "escaped gorilla" (read: staff member dressed up in full gorilla costume) that was finally subdued by a pretend tranquilizer shot. I was disappointed that I didn't get to see this happen, but I did get a shot of the staff member carrying her sweaty costume back to her office.
I told them next time, I want to be the tiger.
