a. ZooAmerica animals secured; staff will monitor as Hurricane Sandy moves through by Ivey DeJesus

b. The article was about the flood of Hurricane Sandy and how the animals in ZooAmerica were affected. Two bison were not able to be saved in time and had to put them down because it was already too flooded when they went to retrieve the bison. This outraged people and they assured everyone they were more secure now for all the animals and that it would not happen again. They replaced the bison exhibit with sandhill cranes instead. HersheyPark also prepared better for any chance of a bad storm and redid the exhibits so the animals will be safe in case of any new emergency they come across.


c. I like how it shows what they did with the exhibits afterwards and how they involved the opinions of other people instead of only getting information from ZooAmerica and keeping it at that.
