Wow that is not a question i thought would be on here, haha. No idea. You mean like a major earthquake? This might be a good question to ask when you are visiting the zoo.

As a zoo employee, I can assure you there are many systems and procedures in place for just an event.

A question better posed to the zoo. I don't recall receiving a safety briefing before visiting this awesome site.

Wow alright, good to look at all possibilities I guess. There has been no recorded escape of dangerous animals into the puplic or any natural disater causing such an escape. This forum is probably not the best place to get official answers to that, i suggest calling the zoo and asking an employee.

There are many safeguards in place for both guest and animal safety. There are many protocols in place for many different events or disasters.

Definitely a question for zoo management. In my 30+ years of enjoying this zoo, the only "escape" I've witnessed was an eagle flying away from its handler and getting stuck in a neighboring tree. Eventually they got it down with food.
