Since the ghosts took off of sperate directions, the ghostbusters decided that they had better luck finding the spirits if they split up.
Peter headed north, while Ray went southward, Winston took off to the eastern area, and Egon checked out the west part of the zoo.
The ghosts appeared to be in a great "hiding" spot, as the team couldn't find them anywhere.
Peter was scanning the chimps and leemar houses, while munching on a hotdog and soda, when his walkie talkie went off.
"Peter come in, come in Peter," Ray's voice called through the speaker.
Peter somehow managed to balance his snack, as he answered the walkie talkie.
"What's up Ray," asked Peter, who had a mouth full of food and beverage.
"And you say I eat terribly.
All's kidding aside though, to you see anything?"
Peter swallowed and answered, "Nothing."
"Keep your eyes open.
They have to be around here someplace."
"Will do."
Egon was scanning a PKE meter in the audibon/bird station, when his walkie talkie went off.
"Any luck on finding the ghosts Spengler?" Winston voice asked through the speaker.
"Negative Winston," Egon answered.
"Then what is the odd sound I keep hearing."
"That would be the mating call of the Chinese Peacock.
Interesting fact, while the Chinese and Indian peacock are of different origin of regions, they both.."
Egon got cut off by Winston who said, "Never mind, I'll get back to you later if I find anything."
"That's fine Winston.
And I'll get in touch with you if I find the spirits."
"Copy out."
In yet another section of the zoo, at the giraffe house and llama pit Ray was checking in all parts where he walked, with the use of ecto goggles for better view, when he spotted something.
It was indeed the ghosts.
Ray quickly grabbed his walkie talkie and called for his teammates.
"Venkman, I see them!
I found the ghosts!" said a very excitable Ray, as he called for Peter.
Just then, the ghouls spotted Ray, and took off.
However, he was quickly onto them.
"They're heading your way Peter," said Ray.
"I'll be ready for them," Peter said through the speaker.
Ray dashed across the zoo to catch up to the ghosts.
Winston was in a different section of the zoo by the wild cats, when he heard a voice on his walkie talkie.
"Winston, come in," Egon's voice called through the speaker.
"What's up Spengler?" Winston, asked, after grabbing the walkie talkie out of his pocket.
"I just got in touch with Ray.
He spotted the ghosts, however they took off, as he was about to fire at them.
They're heading north in Venkman's direction."
"I'm on my way."
"Good.
Hopefully Ray has met up with Venkman by now, and they can keep the spirits in place, till we get there."
"Let's hope so," said Winston, as he took off to meet his fellow ghostbusters.
By the time Ray, Winston and Egon met up with Peter, the ghouls were floating about in the leemar house, scaring the poor creatures.
"We can't hit ghosts from inside the cage, I don't wants us risking hitting any of the animals," Egon pointed out.
"How about we do a warning shot by the top of the cage?" Winston suggested.
"That may work," spoke Ray.
Let's do it then," said Peter.
The four ghostbusters then gave a warning shot as far away as they could from the cage, so not to injure or scare the animals ever more so.
This caused the spirits to take off once more.
"They're getting away!" shouted Winston.
The team took off after them.
The ghosts appeared to head on to another cage.
Ray, who was leading the pack got his proton wand out first, and prepared for action.
However, the rest of the ghostbusters tried to stop him.
"Ray! No wait!
Don't!" Peter, Egon and Winston called out.
It was too late.
As it turned out, the spirits had made their way to the skunk house.
However, Ray was unaware of where the ghosts were until he found out the hard way.
Ray had then gotten sprayed not by one but two skunks, who were no doubt scared by the turn of events.
The three ghostbusters rushed to their team member.
"Raymond, are you alright?" asked Egon.
"Ray, you ok man?" said Winston.
"You good there buddy?" asked buddy.
Though they would soon take several steps back, as Ray was now covered by a heavy stench of skunk spray.
"Whoa Ray!
No offense but you smell like that time I changed Oscar, after I gave him some of my Mexican take-out.
Maybe worse," said Peter, who's eyes began to water from the odor.
"No, more like the time we went on that job assignment at the pier, and those ghosts dumped that thing of fish on us," chocked Winston.
"Gentlemen, we can argue about this later.
Right now we have a more serious problem to deal with," Egon pointed out, getting the rest of his team mates back on track with their job.
And sure enough, the ghosts had flown off.
"Get them!" Peter shouted.
The team took off once more.
Leading the way of course was Ray, who's skunk stench began to over power, especially from the hot temperatures.
"Uh Raymond, do you mind taking a few steps behind us.
Not to be rude or anything the smell I'm picking up is similar to that job assignment we had had that farmhouse in Long Island and Venkman fell into that manure pile," said Egon, trying his best to be polite.
Ray did just that, getting a few steps back from the rest of the team.
That helped a bit, but the rest of the ghostbusters still picked up a slight stench.
The ghostbusters finally caught up to the spirits, who were spotted at the lion's den.
"It's too dangerous to approach the area.
We're going to have to trying luring the ghosts, unless the lions move out of the spot," Egon pointed out.
"How are we going to do that?" asked Ray.
By now, the skunk smell was so strong, that it actually floated into the lion den.
The large beasts picked up the smell, and ran into their caves, whimpering like scared kittens.
"That's our quo," spoke Peter.
He, Winston and Egon moved closer to the den, as did Ray, who despite having that over powering stench, which was the rest of the team's idea, as away of keeping the animals away.
