July the 3rd, Friday, 2020....as the morning sun rose in the east, the Fresno Chaffee Zoo was ready for the visitors of the day. Even though the Covid-19 cloud hung over Fresno County, the zoo was well prepared for this problem. The animals didn't seem to mind that the people observing them had on masks and werepracticing social distancing. They were content with their food and well maintained enclosures. For the observing humans, there were plenty of hand sanitizer stations found across the grounds of the zoo. Granted the zoo had to close a few of the enclosed exhibits because of the "19" mandates, but the personal of the zoo had great presence and we think there were smiles beneath their masks. Questions were always answered, and often you came away with more information then your question was asked about. The zoo has come a long way since this person visited it when Nosey was still in her enclosure. So if you have not seen the Chaffee Zoo in 10 years or more, take some time out of your schedule, and if necessary, put on a mask and stroll through a wonderful zoo. Hopefully in a few months the mask will not be necessary. Enjoy...
