Full StoryThe beautiful plant filled Audubon Zoo is doing well. I came across this statement on the FEMA site.
As of 9:00 am, September 8, 2005, the status of the American Audubon Zoo institution in the area affected by Hurricane Katrina is as follows:
New Orleans
Audubon Zoo
The zoo took pointers from the Miami zoo after deadly Hurricane Andrew struck in 1992, then the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history. Thus, in anticipation of Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans zoo stockpiled fuel, food and other supplies. When the hurricane hit, the staff fled to the sturdy reptile building.
Only a pair of river otters were reported dead
A crocodile is missing from the research center, but is probably is a nearby pond according to Dan Maloney, general curator at the Audubon Zoo.
The zoo has been resupplied with water, food for animals and humans, and fuel for generators. They are still in good spirits, albeit tired. A change of staff is on the way to give relief to the main Hurricane Team.
Good News!
