ZooWorld hosts annual ZooBoo Halloween event - WJHG-TV

PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - Kids got the opportunity to trick-or-treat with the wildest bunch around at Zoo World's annual Zoo Boo Halloween event this weekend.

The event kicked off Saturday and ran through Sunday. All the little witches and ghosts were out about for some daytime trick-or-treating and fun activities throughout the zoo.

Zoo World Director Kayte Hogan said this year's turnout was the biggest they've seen. Following the pandemic, she's excited to see families getting out and enjoying the holiday again.

"Everybody was really scared to come out last year, so we did Zoo Boo and we had a great turnout, but this year, people are really excited to be back out after Covid. We're still keeping it safe, there's still enough room in here to spread out. That's why we did the time tickets to help with the entry process, keep that spread out, and to keep our people spread out while they're in here. It's been so good to have people back this year," Hogan said.

"We just wanted to come out here and make some memories, you know trick-or-treating and seeing the new animals. Because we heard there were some new animals. You know new ones here, especially the kangaroos," Christina Fisher, a ZooBoo goer said.

Hogan said proceeds from this year's event will go towards funding for some internal projects such as new coolers for animal products, as well as upgrading zookeeper spaces. The money will also be used to fund a new South America area the zoo has planned for next year, which is said to feature new animals and exhibits.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Posted: 21 Sep 2020 12:00 AM PDT SeaQuest aquariums—which are owned by Vince Covino—are plagued by issues: animal deaths, legal violations, injuries to employees and members of the public from direct contact with animals, and customer reviews that'll make your jaw drop (and not in a good way). So if you've ever considered visiting a SeaQuest location or any other Covino-operated aquarium, do yourself and animals a favor: Learn from these TripAdvisor and Yelp reviewers. At SeaQuest Folsom in California, an otter was apparently whacked with a broom. "This place smells the animals look tortured and starved. I'm not a fan of this place. Took my family and we ran out of there. … We will never go back. Also we saw an employee wack an otter with a broom. … If you love animals you will hate t
