"I actually think the fig leaves will be enough to cover us up, it's no worse than a swimming pool," said volunteer Simon Spiro, 19, from New Malden, south of the British capital.

"plague species" ?? Just wondering if a french reporter is having a little fun deliberately misunderstanding english.
Did the Zoo Director really say that? And what is the zoo director's name?
