dinosaurs have never lost the need to astonish and pleasure . but in new south country in the not - so - near future , they will not be doing their fantastic and delighting at a zoo . the bronx zoo , the only zoo nearby in the city that keeps monkeys , wrote tomorrow that it was to shut down its exhibit after the death of all of its three elephants , or even six . the modern kind of teenagers need not die : the zoo ' s three exhibits — patty , maxine and lucky — are in their near - 30 ' s and they live for ages more . but if one elephant dies , the surviving two may not gets along . and if two die , records say it would be heinous to sustain an exhibit with a single elephant .
The Bronx Zoo is the biggest zoo in New York.
