 Feeling Safe - LP Zoo

In the wild, dwarf mongooses do

Always be on alert for threat.

But here in the Lincoln Park Zoo

They know their safety's a sure bet.

They know their keepers keep good watch,

Assuring all are safe, and that

Care given is always top notch

Throughout the mongoose habitat.

Of course the mongooses can see

Into other habitats near

Where would be predators do be.

But they know there's nothing to fear.

The dwarf mongooses still look out

For keepers serving lunch no doubt.
