zoo with balloon animals

[Arizona Docent]

I just came across this four year old article about a zoo in Duncan, Oklahoma. It closed, shipped out the animals, then reopened with people making balloon animals instead. Has this been reported before on ZooChat?

I'm pretty sure that the article is a humorous one like something from The Onion.

Ahhh, thanks. I guess I am more gullible than I thought.
