Host Lisa Simeone talks with Nancy Chan of the San Francisco Zoo (www.sfzoo.org) about the power outage at the zoo last Thursday morning. Zookeepers were moving endangered fish -- Cichlids from Madagascar -- from their regular exhibition space to a holding tank. During the outage, all the fish were safely moved to a tank at the zoo's hospital. A back-up generator there kept the water warm and the fish safe.
