You may get wet

Um, you do understand that dolphins are aquatic animals and that when you go to a dolphin exhibit at a zoo, their trainers have them do flips in their tanks and splash around and such, right? Apparently not...
A woman is suing a Chicago-area zoo for a 2008 fall near a dolphin exhibit, accusing zookeepers of encouraging the mammals to splash water and then failing to protect spectators from wet surfaces, local media reported on Thursday.

In her suit filed earlier this week, Allecyn Edwards said she was injured while walking near an exhibit at Brookfield Zoo, where a group of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins were performing, media said.
Thank God she didn't visit the monkey house.
