The big zoo news of the week was the freak hail storm at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, where softball-sized hail rained down on visitors and animals alike. Human injuries were reported, along with the deaths of five animals as zoo staff rushed to get animals and visitors to cover. It's a testament to the hard work of the staff that the losses weren't greater, but it's still a sobering reminder of how quickly weather can turn into disaster-mode.
