Lawrence Curtis, director of the 110-acre Oklahoma City Zoo said winter conditions bring all manner of unique situations for zookeepers. While the rare snow leopards and other cold-weather animals were enjoying wind-t hill factors far below zero, Curtis said a baby ( ape Buffalo bom into a freezing work! almost did not survive. It’s a wonder it didn’t die," he said. Its mother had the use of he ated bams but chose to give birth outside The male calf was found Sunday morning suffering from hypothermia. ‘In the words the veterina rian,” Curtis said,-“it (the calf) is defying all the laws of thermo- dynamk-s of staying alive."* Then there are Liz and Richard, the Asi^n gibbons who can peer across from their island home to a shore they have never visited.

Curtis recalled a previous win ter when Harry , another gibbon, made such a crossing. It was during a day where then were quite a few jieople at the zoo, he said. “There was sortie lady a in a very outlandish hat It looked like a bunch of fruit on top, and he stole her hat. I had to pay $5.98 for that hat. " Since Harry — who has be£A transferred to a zoo in SwitzerlafuJ — none of the "extremely acroba tic, highly developed” primates have been off the island. But young laz and Richard are new fn town and with the first freerie came the attention of zookeeperif It would be very simple fa them to just walk across the ice to the other shore a lew hundred yards away, Curtis said. "Brtt they've never done it. We're kind of watching them ’’ Winter also brings freeloaders to the zoo. ’"Tim time of year we have number of ’welfare’ Backs geese come in on flightaJrom tha", north,’ Curtis said ‘‘They oftea’i stop here.
