Sibley Park In 1965, the famous and highly popular Sibley Park Zoo was nearly swept away when the Blue Earth and Minnesota river valleys flooded. The rivers flooded because of excess runoff Of melting snow from the previous winter.

Sibley Park Of the more than 100 animals who were housed at the zoo at the time of the flood, only the larger ones survived. Buffalo, bears, deer and elk, along with 4 monkeys, 2 alligators and an exotic breed of raccoon survived.

Sibley Park The few animals that did survive the flood were moved to nearby Como Zoo in St. Paul. The damaged park was cleaned up by some Neighborhood kids and youth groups.

Sibley Park In 1989 the newly reestablished zoo consisted of a prairie dog colony, deer, peacocks, rabbits & goats. For the most part, the same animals remain today at the Sibley Park Zoo.
