Joe did the "what animal can you jump as far as" thing at the zoo. He claims, somewhat credibly, to have reached "moon bear," at eight feet.
The Roger Williams Park Zoo has been doing some significant renovation. We missed the cheetahs, but it's looking much crisper, which makes one feel better about the animals (not that it was bad before, mind you).
It remains my favorite zoo in the area, largely for the superior Tropical America section -- and the fact that there's no requirement to pass through the gift shop. (Aquarium, take note.)
