For the first time in its 74-year history, the Brookfield Zoo closed Sunday after its animal habitats sustain serious storm damage. The zoo reopened yesterday, but several exhibits are still closed today, but the zoo itself has reopened. According to the zoo's press release, aAnimals not on exhibit include the big cats and bears...Mexican gray wolves, dolphins, sea lions, seals, as well as the entire Fragile Kingdom exhibit."
