You know, while you were unconscious after the accident you promised God you would give Him the rest of your life." Walt says he has no recollection of making such a promise, but on looking back over the years he realized what Francis Thompson meant when he wrote The Hound of Heaven "Nothing could shelter him, nothing hide him from the Pursuer, and finally the footfall halted, halted by his side."

The Bronx Zoo has been traditionally in the forefront as an innovator in the quality of its collection and in pioneering techniques in style of ex hibiling captive animals. More than thirty years ago, for example, the African Plain exhibit area was opened. Here, visitors look out across a grassy plain to a rocky knoll where a pride of lions lazes about. Hie same view catches a herd of the antelope roaming near moat liona, but across a camouflaged by bushes. Other exhibits of this type ere the Big Bears exhibit. Wolf Wood and the Aquatic Birds building. The rough, rugged and rocky bear exhibit hulds several Brown and Polar bears, each species occupying e section of the exhibit which is separated by sheer rock wall. Visitors see the bears over a moat partially obscured by hedging. A mountain brook, splashing down a natural water course, enhances the real life setting. In wolves move through a wooded area, which is also surrounded by a protective moat. In the Aquatic Birds live building, a variety of birds their cycle in settings which duplicate natural habitats. So realistic is the environment that many species of birds, which did not breed in wire cages, now routinely build nests and raise young among the real and simulated grasses, mud, rocks, sand and streams of the exhibit areas. Unique to the Bronx Zoo is the World of Darkness, which represents a new concept in exhibiting nocturnal animals. In the budding day ia turned into night, allowing visitors to observe creatures whose life cycles revolve around the hours of twilight and night. The World of Darkness is the must sophisticated zoological building of its kind. Recreating an environment so that creature of the night arc active inside the building during normal daylight hours required seven years planning and construction. It is the first time that a variety of nocturru.1 mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish can be observed during their waking cycle in habitats that simulate Wood, timber natural surroundings.
