What Animals Should Escape From The Bronx Zoo Next?

<p>The Red Panda eats bamboo, blossoms, bird eggs, small mammals, fruit, seeds, and berries. So basically, if one escaped it could take care of our pigeon and rat problem while looking adorable!</p>
Who doesn't want a penguin walking around the city? No one doesn't want a penguin walking around the city.
Note: one was almost liberated back in the '60s.<p>Grevy's Zebras are like fragile, quiet, vegans. They're herbivores, and apparently the least social of all zebras. So they probably don't want to escape, but if they did we'd take them for some greens at <a href="http://gothamist.com/2008/12/11/amanda_cohen.php">Dirt Candy</a>.</p>
<p>Sloths are nocturnal and spend almost all their time hanging upside-down from tree branches, so they sound like they'd be <em>party animals</em> (apologies).</p>
<p>Yes, flamingos, because... obviously! And we could use some color in this city.</p>
<p>Awww, fossas are so cute, like kittens! This, combined with the fact that they are dangerous, puts them on our pre-approved list. Let's face it, the Great Bronx Zoo Cobra Escape was only exciting because the cobra could potentially kill us. Well, fossas prefer hunting at night and have no problem eating lemurs, which probably means they'd have no problem hunting us, which gives these guys an <em>edge</em>.</p>
<p>Aardvarks are mainly nocturnal and solitary, so it's like they're already one of us. Come out from the gates, aardvark, commiserate with us.</p>
