    Thankfully, looks like damage is limited to cafe. Although it was part of the petting area. Aardvark unaccounted for. Let just hope the animals were housed in Alphabetical order.

    Awwwwww :(. Hope he's ok. I too have a big nose and am kind of funny looking.

    Also, obviously hope people are okay. I wrote the above before realizing it's not 3:45 in the morning over there and thus there would be people at the zoo.

    Am I the only one who thinks the BBC story makes it sound like the Aardvark is suspected of starting the fire?

    I wonder if they've got a heavy petting area?

    More or less the same here. I do love this weather, granted I don't have to drive much in it which makes a huge difference.

    I heard Trump thought it was a terror attack as he heard they’re holding “ostriches “

    Strange name, aardvark. Dutch for 'earth pig' which implies the others are what, water pigs, air pigs? Perhaps pigs do fly.
