From The Dallas Morning News, November ?? 1996:

What? Rat again?
You thought you had trouble selling your family on the remains of the Thanksgiving turkey. Over at the Dallas Zoo, they're dealing with some tougher-to-push leftovers.

Here's what the zoo offered its residents for Thanksgiving:

• A ton of hay,
• 35 pounds of fish,
• 50 pounds of meat,
• 100 stalks of celery,
• five pounds of red onions,
• 100 pounds of carrots,
• 25 pounds of spinach,
• 15 pounds of kale,
• 10 pounds of mixed vegetables,
• 150 pounds of sweet potatoes,
• 10 heads of cabbage,
• 48 heads of romaine,
• 30 ears of corn,
• four loaves of wheat bread,
• 24 eggs,
• a pound of yogurt,
• 40 pounds of bananas,
• eight pounds of blueberries,
• 170 oranges,
• 500 apples,
• 36 cantaloupes,
• four papayas,
• 250 rodents (the variety pack),
• 6000 mealworms,
• 600 wax worms and
• 7500 crickets.

I wonder how the bible literalists figure Noah's Ark could have carried enough food for all those hundreds of thousands of animals for the fourteen months they were shut up inside the boat, when one piddly little zoo (and it is quite small) feeds its residents this much food in one day.
