Odd Zoo Trivia - April Fools' Day

Each year, we prepare for April Fools' Day and an onslaught of incoming phone calls. Unsuspecting coworkers often receive bogus phone messages to return calls to "Mr. Lion," "Ellie Fant" or "Mr. Bear" with the zoo's phone number listed. This year, we tracked eight hang-ups, five "wrong numbers" and about 30 actual April Fools' calls from folks asking for someone (or some animal) that doesn't work here.
