New zoo puts exotic animals on menu

Important guests at the grand opening of a safari zoo in northern Thailand will not only get to see exotic animals, they’ll get to taste them.

The Chiang Mai Night Safari Zoo will have its official opening on New Year’s Day, and the “exotic buffet” marking the event will include tiger, lion, elephant and giraffe, says Plodprasop Suraswadi, the director of the zoo project.
