I got a phone call earlier today from probably the same guy (he said he was
the deputy zoo director) that echoed your post.  He was very polite and
apologized for the inaccuracies.  He said the sign was rather old and no one
noticed it was wrong before (though he had lately received several letters
and calls about it >whistle<).

>nod< I was thrilled with the response I got from the zoo.  I've also
gotten polite feedback from several pet stores I've called and/or written.
Unfortunately, there are always a few bad ones and they frequently
overshadow the rest.  It's nice to hear about the places that actually act
to remedy problems, though.
