Ann Arbor Stories | Ann Arbor District Library   /     #39 Ann Arbor Stories: We Had a Zoo

Description

Bears. Bobcats. Badgers. Red foxes. Raccoons. And a wolverine. Once upon a time they watched from campus with their predatory eyes as students at the University of Michigan, townies, and delicious delicious children walked past. Their territory on the corner near Geddes and Washtenaw - that's where these wild beasts stalked for more than 30 years. Stalked is a little hyperbolic. Watched. They watched. But with slavering mouths and sharp curved teeth. We didn’t mention the cages. There were cages. And some fences. And zookeepers. Wait, we didn’t mention. Um, everyone … we had a zoo! Parental Listener Warning: This episode contains references to a few animals that die, wild animals at sporting events and otter water slides. Music by: Shout Out Out Out Out
