A sea lion timed his dive perfectly yesterday in a show at the St. Louis Zoo. The expansive zoo, located in the city's historic, 1,293-acre Forest Park (host of the 1904 World's Fair), is one of the few free zoos in the nation, and recently was voted America's top free attraction in USA Today's 10Best Readers' Choice Awards. The 108-year-old zoo's $18-million, 1.5-acre Sea Lion Sound was voted Best Exhibit.
