Blank Park Zoo

Blank Park Zoo educates the public about the wonders of the wild by re-creating far-flung habitats and ecosystems that house more than 1,000 animals and 104 different species ranging from Siberian tigers to hissing cockroaches. Zookeepers lead special behind-the-scenes tours of the indoor rainforest or the African barn to establish deeper connections between people and animals without forcing them to read each other's dream journals. Both of these exhibits include hands-on feedings that allow humans to go face-to-face or nose-to-beak with hungry giraffes and parakeets. Recent new arrivals welcome curious kids to commiserate with the growing pains and early bedtimes of young wallabies, camels, and seal pups, setting a foundation for learning that may be continued in classes designed for those aged 6 months to 5 years.

In addition to raising awareness about the environment, Blank Park Zoo contributes to conservation efforts to preserve the future of native animals and their natural homes. The zoo participates in seven endangered-species breeding programs and donates a portion of admissions proceeds to several different wildlife initiatives.

The Groupon Guide to: Fishing without a Rod

Until cows realize that seaweed is just wet grass and there's plenty of it to eat on the ocean floor, the only food source humans will find in the water is fish. If you're hungry, near a lake, and happen to be without a fishing rod, use some of these tried-and-true techniques to catch a fish:

Spear: This method, which involves jamming the spear end into the seafloor, holding the opposite end near your open mouth, and waiting for the fish to slither up and into your body, should never be used because if you've got a spear and a strand of long, thick hair, you've basically got a fishing pole.

Net: There are many advantages to fishing with a giant net, but none are more important than being able cut it up into long rope sections so you're left with a bunch of long, wobbly fishing rods.

Dynamite: Fishing with dynamite is prohibited unless you're simply using the dynamite to try to shake loose the millions of fishing rods that are probably buried in the sand beneath the water.

Hands: Employing the bare-handed method to catch a fish is easy, but it's even easier to go to a nearby sporting goods store and purchase a real fishing rod, like the Lakemaster™ SnatchStick™—because with a Lakemaster™, you'll always make the fish come out of the water faster.

Why is it so easy to make a fishing rod?
