Lions, Baboons, Gazelles - Oh My!

2008_07_cablezoo.jpgYikes: A detail about last night's Bronx Zoo Skyfari cable car stoppage: Apparently the cable cars were "suspended 100 feet over the baboon habitat and the roaming lions and gazelles." While authorities say no one was in danger of falling (the stoppage was caused when one of the cars' wheels derailed), the State Department of Labor is investigating the incident (the DOL also investigated the Roosevelt Island tram breakdown in 2006).

If they did fall into the animal's den, the Baboons would've thrown feces at them, making the occupants of the cable car less appetizing to the Lions.
