Gulf Shores has a small private zoo with tigers, bears, goats and a lot of parrots. One can only imagine what will be left of that and what condition the animals will be in.
GULF SHORES, Ala. The Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo at Gulf Shores is also evacuating for Hurricane Ivan. Volunteers have joined zookeepers in removing the animals, including some big tigers. Evacuation of the 16-acre zoo began yesterday and was almost complete this morning. Zoo director Patti Hall says for safety reasons she cannot say where the 268 animals were relocated.
