After more than 60 years, the Milwaukee County Zoo is set to close its small mammals building, bidding farewell to its tiny tenants. Zoo officials have been concerned for some time that the building is small, outdated and doesn't meet modern standards for animal care. Efforts to refurbish the building were also deemed too costly.
