Most people expect a zoo to mean walking past caged animals behind thick glass, keeping a safe and boring distance.

Two cows wandering a New York farm in the early 20th century probably had no idea they were about to make geological history.

The Falling Water River earns its name the hard way, dropping more than 250 feet through a deep limestone gorge and creating four separate waterfalls along the way.
