Elmwood Park Zoo Safari Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:


We present to you a geocache by Team Wanderlust.

The coordinates listed in the cache will bring you to the entrance of the Elmwood Zoo in Norristown.

To find the coordinates of the actual cache, you will need to find the answer to these animal-related questions. The answers can be found at the zoo exhibits themselves, and possibly on the zoo's website. (visit link)

To find the cache, you will need to go to:

================
N 40° 07.XXY
W 075° 20.YZZ
================

X = The gestation period for the North American Porcupine is ? months.

Y = Female American Bison reach 5 feet in height, and the males can reach ? feet in height.

Z = Black Tailed Prairie Dogs have a 1-? inch tail.

Please note that the cache is hidden in Elmwood Park, but NOT in the zoo. No admission is required to find this cache, although it could possibly give you an advantage with answering the animal questions.

Cache is a medium-sized plastic box which has been painted camouflage to blend in with its surroundings. It has been stocked with lots of animal-related starter trinkets, and is awaiting your travel bugs and geocoins!

Please ensure that the cache is sealed tightly and replaced properly so that others may enjoy the hunt.

Good Luck!
