ZooAmerica - Hershey, PA: part 4 of 5 (from June 26)

Leaving the Black Bears you cross the little river and come upon their Prairie Dog mound with a couple of the critters scampering around.  There's also a sign reminding you of the zoo's more eclectic past with this was a "monkey island".  Along this section of the zoo is another small food concession and habitats for Elk, Mountain Lions and Pronghorn Antelopes. 

 A particularly large Prairie Dog town habitat.
