Lion Country article in LA Times

One wonders when they dig up the area with new homes if they will unearth the old bones, now that the grave is un-marked. Zombie Frasier will prowl the streets of that new Irvine neighborhood.

Is there a monument for Bubbles the Hippo in Laguna Canyon? I sense an air of sexism if there isn't <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->

From the preserve's high points, hikers get good views of Bubbles Lake, named for the hippopotamus Bubbles who escaped from Lion Country Safari in the mid-1970s and took up residence in the little lake located on the west side of Laguna Canyon Road. For a time, the wayward hippo eluded capture, staying underwater by day and emerging only at night. Alas for Bubbles, she was shot with tranquilizers and died while attempting to elude her captors.
