Sad news from northern Ohio tonight. For those unfamiliar, this is about 5 miles northwest of downtown Sandusky (across the bay) and about 10-15 minutes east of Port Clinton.

I visited in 2017 and it was definitely a cool experience.

Fox8 out of Cleveland says 10 animals lost their lives in the fire - 3 bongos, 3 giraffes, 3 red river hogs and 1 springbok, with a zebra escaping the blaze. https://fox8.com/2019/11/28/crews-battling-blaze-at-african-wildlife-safari-park/
