St. Louis, MO – The St. Louis Zoo re-opened Thursday morning after a power outage Wednesday. Visitors were sent home at about 2:00 p.m. after a backup power source blew a fuse while crews worked on the zoo's main power line.

Emergency generators were used to keep some critters cool, and officials say all the animals are fine.
