dining in San Francisco

From time to time I like to review what’s going on in the world of wildlife news.  Today I read that the leaf cutter ants have escaped from their high-tech enclosure at San Francisco’s California Academy of Sciences.  It had taken three years and countless hours to rebuild, but just months for the leaf cutters to engineer their escape.

And that wasn’t the only incident;  apparently the giant octopus had been sneaking into the crab enclosure in the evenings.  Then, under cover of darkness, he had been dining on the tasty crustaceans.

I’ve been informed that security has since been tightened.
