[The Bronx Zoo? That's fine. I don't think the predator animals would be adventurous enough to cross the East River and invade Queens. So, I should be safe and secure. ]
They could grab or car jack New York City cab. It would be easier and safer then to try to cross the polluted and current filled East River. I'd bet they'd drive better then the average taxi cab driver too!
I love eagles who are smart enough to solve word puzzles and/or word games.
