COTTAGEVILLE, S.C. (WCSC) – A popular zoo in Colleton County posted on social media Sunday that all of its animals are safe from floodwaters caused by Tropical Storm Debby.

“We are so blessed to have so many good friends in the Zoo industry and all the way around,” the post stated. “Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone encountering so much loss with this flooding event. We will work hard to help everyone get back to where they need to be.”
