Local Zoo Hurricane Ready - Alabama Hurricane Gulf Shores Evacuation - WKRG.com

Local Zoo Hurricane Ready - Alabama Hurricane Gulf Shores Evacuation - WKRG.com: "In 2004, Hurricane Ivan wiped out the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, forcing the evacuation of every animal and bird in the facility. Zoo keepers and volunteers moved the animals out, one by one, and transported them to individual safe houses further inland. The entire hurricane evacuation was a nightmare. But things will be different now if a storm threatens Pleasure Island."
