'A little-known survival of the ancient flytings, or contests-in-insults of the Anglo-Scottish bards, is the type of xenophobic humor once known as water wit in which passengers in small boats crossing the Thames ...would insult each other grossly, in all the untouchable safety of being able to get away fast'.
The Central Park Zoo is a small 6.5-acre (2.6 ha) zoo located in Central Park in New York City. It is part of an integrated system of four zoos and the New York Aquarium managed by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), and is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA).
The zoo, located in Los Angeles' Griffith Park, is home to 1,100 animals from around the world. The first zoo opened in 1912 and was about two miles (3.2 km) south of its current site until about 1965. Remnants of the zoo remain and were used in the film Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.
