He never broke eye contact.

The cow we use for our milking demonstrations has kind of a weird udder.
First few rows might get wet.

Rumors that our elephants are all animatronic are simply untrue.
Elephants in the wild are known to travel on tracks and make loud whirring noises.
Maybe pick up a National Geographic every now and then.

The Large Lizard exhibit in our herpetarium has pretty robust security with several surveillance cameras and guard on duty watching the video footage 24/7.

Feel free to feed our ducks whatever you have on hand.
We aren't all high and mighty like some of those "accredited" facilities and you wouldn't believe how much actual duck food costs.

Ramshackle Zoo Fun Fact: Sloths only poop once a week.
We can always tell when it's our sloth's time to go because he tucks the newspaper under his arm before slowly making his way down from his tree.
