While the San Francisco Zoo had a tiger break of of his pen, the Hillcrest Park Zoo, in Clovis, New Mexico is having the opposite problem. It appears that some skateboarders broke into the zoo to skate a “culvert” that zoo officials say “is perfect for skateboarding.”
Hillcrest Park Zoo Director Herschel Arnold said Friday when employees discovered a full length cut in the 8-foot perimeter fence on the back side of the zoo, they quickly surmised skateboarders had gone through the fence to get to a concrete culvert on the other side. . . “It’s got a cement ramp that is just perfect for skateboarders and they took advantage of it,” he said.
Officials fixed the fence and were glad that none of the animals were molested.
