We all had to make adjustments as the  COVID-19  pandemic unfolded – even zoo animals who were suddenly not seeing crowds of visitors pass by every single day.
In a study published in 2022, researchers discovered how primates reacted to that shift, looking at the behavior of bonobos, chimpanzees, western lowland gorillas, and olive baboons, and finding that the animals changed their habits in a variety of ways, including the amount of time they spent resting and eating.

Apple Valley, MN

A routine flight training session at the Minnesota Zoo turned tragic when a Eurasian eagle owl escaped its handler and landed in a tiger enclosure, where it was killed by one of the tigers, according to a U.S. Agriculture Department inspection report and zoo officials. The incident occurred on April 29 during a bird show training session at the zoo in Apple Valley, a suburb of the Twin Cities. The owl, which was in the early stages of its training, failed to return to its handler and instead flew into an outdoor enclosure housing tigers. The tiger in the enclosure preyed upon the owl before zoo staff could intervene, the inspection report stated.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
