Thanks everyone.
Definitely going with Knot (and Mark's seconding) on last line as title.
This is something I wrote while living in Albuquerque many years ago, so I'm gratified it still feels fresh.
I will have to search my memory (already started) for more detail. In particular I now remember a sad and solemn orangutuan we always visited.
As zoos go, the Albuquerque Zoo is about as humane as it gets, but I can't say I ever enjoy seeing animals in captivity. I was willing to go strictly for the kids. But I did find comfort in those back lots where the animals did not seem so imprisoned.
