The drive-thru tours are a way to raise funds for the zoo's Emergency Operation Fund.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the zoo had to temporarily furlough about one-third of its 140 full-time employees. Veterinarians and staff were to continue to care for the animals while executive staff worked without pay.
