Don’t take me to a zoo. I can imitate several distress calls, like a baby gator, ostrich, sifaka lemur, and a few others. An ostrich at Safari West gave me a dirty look for proving it.
The zoo’s name is an in joke that cartoonists, particularly animators, will get instantly. T. S. Sullivant was the pre eminent caricaturist of animals for nearly forty years. His work had a huge influence on the Disney studio beginning with FANTASIA. You will recognize the hippos and elephants in Sullivant’s work. I wrote the introduction to Chapter 1 of A COCKEYED MENAGERIE, the first collection of Sullivant’s work since 1946, and once owned the illustration that appears on its cover. The 1946 collection is titled SULLIVANT’S A B C ZOO.
So I assume she’s going incognito to interview “burrowers”? I always wanted a toucan custom for Halloween or a custom party, but how in the world I could handle a “big beak” I don’t know. Nobody knows why real toucans have them or why they are so big and colorful. And… yes toucans themselves sometimes have a bad day because of them LOL.

I like Kate’s disguise, but I’m not sure it will fool any animals.
