So, out of hundreds of animals, they saved all but two?
I would think that’s pretty good, considering it was a flash flood.

Having made the unpleasant choice to “put down” animals I am attached to, I doubt this was something they wanted to do, but felt compelled to do to prevent the bison from suffering.

Swimming in flood waters, isn’t like swimming in a pretty pond, or lazy river.

Doesn’t seem to specify what happened to other animals. Maybe they figured getting new bison was cheaper than trying to get the old bison out of danger, while that wouldn’t apply to more exotic beasts like zebras. They really needed a cowboy, literally.

Doesn’t seem to specify what happened to other animals — well, all the other animals, at least. Maybe some perished in the waters.
