Zuma watched from beyond one of the pens as the zookeeper passed by to feed some of the other animals. She rolled her eyes as the woman spoke to the animals. Zuma had always loved animals but only the cute ones and she never spoke to them like they were people. She did not see the point...they did not talk back. Once the woman had moved far enough away Zuma snuck up to the giant ratdog cage and lifted the latch as quietly as possible.
The fastener made a small squeak and she bit her lip, quickly opening the gate and letting the animals out of the enclosure. Before she could be seen or the large animals could run her over, she ran in the opposite direction for another cage. She quickly let the zebra-lion-panda from its enclosure and ran behind another of the cages to watch what happened.
