Does anyone know what has happened |
|
with the animals at the Audubon Zoo, and I'm assuming that the creatures from the aquarium are swimming free now. Also is there an animal shelter anywhere?

http://news.mongabay.com/2005/0830-new_orleans_aquarium.htmlThe Audubon Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans apparently survived Hurricane Katrina relatively unscathed according to a report in The Baltimore Sun. Hurricane Katrina hit the Louisiana city Monday.
According to Ron Forman, president of the Audubon Nature Institute that oversees the city's aquarium and zoo, only a few flamingos died and was little other loss of animal life. The Audubon Zoo also fared well in the storm.

I don't know anything about the elevation of various NOLA sites.

"Pre-levee breaks." And now I'm worried about the dolphins.
