ZooWorld in Panama City Beach, Fla. squeezed a group of 30 flamingos into a bathroom to shelter them from Hurricane Isaias, which hit the Gulf Coast.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center on flamingos being sheltered in a ZooWorld bathroom during Hurricane Isaias, and both identify the zoo as ZooWorld in Panama City Beach, Fla. The New York Times foregrounds the image of 30 flamingos squeezed into a bathroom, while Fox News adds that staff moved animals to safety, all survived, and the zoo reopened after cleanup.
