You know, they-they have serious predators at the L.A. Zoo. A snow leopard. A Sumatran tiger."
Eddie had a smile on his face as he leaned forward to look across Hunter and face Buck with a pointed finger, "He takes Christopher there all the time, got the place memorized," he explained to the rest of the 118.
