the great zoo escape

[superboober]

This is my generic name for this bit, which was airing at least through the late 80s. You probably have seen it at one point or another; in it we see an alligator, snake, and kangaroo going over plans in their collective (??) cage at night on planning to saw their way out of the cage and meet "the truck" (in hindsight, it may have been easier to just have the snake slither through the very open bars and pick the lock, but anyway...). Eventually after an indeterminate time lapse, the truck appears, we watch the plan (in which they each play an integral cooperative part) unfold on the diagram they built, and ultimately see that the truck they were catching was an ice cream truck, and they wanted to buy some cones.

Am I right in that this rings some bells, and when was it last seen on the air?

Looks correct to me. I wouldn't know when it was last shown.
