"Also a verb meaning to graze among books, it's plant matter for creatures like giraffes; the Lincoln Park Zoo has it fresh & frozen."

If you got that correct, congratulations! You would have scored last night on Jeopardy! There was a special category titled "Feeding Time at the Zoo" with Topeka Zoo, Zoo Atlanta, Jacksonville Zoo, and the Smithsonian National Zoo also all being mentioned in clues. I always appreciate it when zoos make cameo appearances in mainstream culture. It cements us as part of the cultural landscape, while also sneaking a little bit of education about who we are, what we do, and how we care for animals in along the way.
Of course, what Ken Jennings really needs to do is host an entire episode of Jeopardy! devoted solely to zoos, with zoo staff competing.
