NEW YORK: A sea lion got a taste of freedom — and murky brown floodwaters — after a deluge of rain battering New York City (NYC) caused the Central Park Zoo sea lion pool to flood over on Friday, reported German news agency (dpa).
The zoo was closed on Friday because of the inclement weather — but the intrepid sea lion swam outside her enclosure as several centimetres of rain overwhelmed the plaza around the pool.“A female sea lion at Central Park Zoo was able to swim out of her pool due to flooding of the plaza caused by severe rain in New York City today,” Jim Breheny, executive vice president of the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Zoos and Aquariums said in a statement.
