This from a guy with up to 17 cats in a West Side apartment?
I may not have heeb following this particular thread well, but does anyone know what will happen to the area that once had camel rides?
Bronx Zoo says a woman got in the lion exhibit. It's not the first time.
Oh, for Fred Fuchs' sakes.

“The woman, who was dressed in a red slip dress and leopard print scarf, can be seen in video obtained by NBC New York waving roses at the bewildered lion. She then started throwing $100 bills in the air.”
Was the wishing pond out of commission?
Have the camel rides closed for good?
People need to stop. The zoo may have to put in a new barrier or fence to prevent people from going over. Maybe barbed wire.
Looks like drugs were probably heavily involved in this one. You'd think the high entry fee would keep that from happening - plenty of places to go for free instead - but if you're literally going to throw money at the animals anyway, what's $40?
The video in the news link makes it sound as though this may be the same woman who climbed in two years ago...

Though not confirmed, it seems likely:
Woman climbs over barrier in Bronx Zoo's lion exhibit, throws money in the air
Zoo officials said they plan to press criminal trespass charges if the woman is identified.

Police are now sure it was the same woman from 2 years ago. Apparently her first set of charges for trespassing taught her nothing.

Didn't see it on sunday
I'm guessing it is this Sunday, not last Sunday
The zoo's director has Tweeted out that they are looking to import further Ring-Tailed Vontsira from Europe to try and establish a population in US zoos. As much as I love their vontsira, this is a strange move to me seeing as there are only about two and a half dozen animals in the European population, far from established and thriving, so splitting up the population doesn't sound like a great idea to me. Additionally, the zoo has never had any success with breeding their current pair (who came from Berlin).

It would be fantastic to have an established population of Vontsiras in the North America (It would definitely bring more diversity to Malagasy Exhibit). although I agree that bringing them across the pond with a relatively small population (and no past success) May not be the smartest move for the species.
I thought the small carnivore tag advised against keeping vontsiras.
That doesn't mean Bronx can't still import more if they want. The zoo has a history of working with species the TAGs recommend against (Grey Mouse Lemur, Gaur, Indian Sambar, North Indian Muntjac, Pink Pigeon...).

They're building a restaurant. I'm personally hoping for more dining options and Asian food.
