The animals finally emerged from their enclosures, the atmosphere eerie and full of fear. The poison had finally disappeared from the air, although that really didn???t matter all that much. For the animals were immune to its potent effects, it seemed. The humans had not been quite as lucky as the animals. While the animals were not affected at all by the poison, the effects of it on the human body were incredible. First came the sick feeling, then the shortness of breath. Then came the paleness, and vomiting. Just a day or so after the poison entered the body, the person would stop breathing, and die. Their bodies lay everywhere, in enclosures, on the sidewalk, in the gift shop, in the restaurants??? Outside of the zoo, they were less in one area, but they were still everywhere. Later, the animals would discover that they were completely alone, in a world without humans.
They all gathered. The birds flew in nervously, the elephants came along with the antelopes and zebras, the leopards, lions, and tigers came together. The reptiles came from the reptile house, and the monkeys came too. Everyone was there. After the shock left them, commotion broke out.
???Where are the zookeepers? The guests???? a tiny leopard cub asked. When the lion cub next to him touched him with his tail and flicked his ears towards one of the dead humans, the leopard cub cried out and hid behind his mother, who glared at the lion cub.
???How will we survive without anyone to feed us???? a flamingo asked.
???Yes, we don???t have any idea how to hunt and gather for ourselves!??? one of the monkeys complained.
???I can???t feed my cub without food!??? the polar bear fretted, her paw placed in front of her cub protectively. At this, several of the animals with young ones began to call out in anxiety.
???All of your questions will be answered,??? a young chimp named Bo called. The animals turned to look at him, where he was perched on top of one of the trees used for decorating the zoo. ???Birds! I want one of you to go and search for any human survivors.??? The birds spoke to each other for a few moments before sending someone, a Bald Eagle named Liberty. She left to search, and after an hour or so, had returned. She reported that there were no humans to be seen. They were alone.
Commotion broke out again, and many of the same questions as before came up. Bo???s mate, Clara, silenced them, and Bo began to speak again. ???Then we will hav
