“To use the parlance of this crowd, it’s a balanced blend picked at the perfect time, and certainlyfull-bodied, just like our gorillas,” said Zoo CEO Rich Block. “There may be a hint of grass, oak, and flamingos. It has lots of nose, especially on our giant anteaters, is certainly robust like Amur leopards, and smooth like penguins’ feathers.”
