Zoo in Duluth ready for visitors post-flood

The Lake Superior Zoo in Duluth reopens today. The zoo was forced to close after the grounds were flooded during the huge storm on June 20th. As a result of the flooding, eleven animals died and a seal, that escaped the zoo and ended up on Grand Avenue, is now housed at the Como Zoo in St. Paul. MPR's Phil Picardi spoke with Sam Maida, CEO of the Lake Superior Zoo.
