These really are true zoo stories.  All of them happened in the great Bronx Zoo in New York City.

It isn't at all surprising that these and a lot of other animal stories happened, for the Bronx Zoo is the greatest zoo in the world, and its 2,500 animals (of more than a thousand kinds, from all over the world) are always doing interesting things.

There is a little game I sometimes play with children.  I say, "Name an animal and I'll tell you a story about it."

These are some of those stories.
