[[File:Who R Zoo 032.png|thumb|260px|SpongeBob gets kicked out of the Zoo.]]
The episode begins at the zoo, where SpongeBob saves Ryan's sister from the sea tiger. SpongeBob and Patrick then create disruption in the zoo. However, they were eventually kicked out by the zoo manager. To cope with their loss, they create the [[Bubble Zoo]].
 
  +
The episode begins with SpongeBob playing with the zoo animals at the [[Bikini Bottom Zoo]] until the zookeeper stops him from doing so, telling him it's illegal to sneak into the animal enclosures because the animals are not pets and could get him injured. SpongeBob is against this, because he is friends with the animals, so the zookeeper puts an ankle alarm on him to prevent him from going into the animal enclosures, which will go off should he do it again. SpongeBob tries to evade this by keeping the foot with the ankle alarm outside the enclosures, but this fails and he gets kicked out of the zoo, with Patrick sneaking into a sea monkey enclosure so he gets kicked out with him.
   
  +
SpongeBob is crying on Patrick's rock, until he gets the idea of building a bubble zoo after creating a snot bubble. They create many bubble animals as well as the zoo itself using [[Extra Strength Bubble Soap]]. The [[Bubble Zoo|zoo]] is visited by many people and it is a success.

  +
Meanwhile, Squidward wakes up from his nap and goes outside, only to get trapped inside one of the bubble animals. After he is released, one of the bubble animals eats his clothes, causing Squidward to panic and pop the entire bubble zoo. The bubble animals get angry at SpongeBob and at the same time, invade the [[Krusty Krab]] and the [[Chum Bucket]].
  +
  +
While SpongeBob and Patrick are cornered by the bubble animals, the former calls the animals from the real zoo to defeat the bubble animals. The animals come and the bubble animals get scared by the sea monster, causing them to hide in the Extra Strength Bubble Soap canister. The episode ends with the zoo manager letting SpongeBob back in the zoo for bringing back his animals as well as bringing new bubble animals.

"Who R Zoo?" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season 12. In this episode, SpongeBob and Patrick create their own zoo made entirely of bubbles.

Characters

Synopsis

Who R Zoo 032

SpongeBob gets kicked out of the Zoo.

The episode begins with SpongeBob playing with the zoo animals at the Bikini Bottom Zoo until the zookeeper stops him from doing so, telling him it's illegal to sneak into the animal enclosures because the animals are not pets and could get him injured. SpongeBob is against this, because he is friends with the animals, so the zookeeper puts an ankle alarm on him to prevent him from going into the animal enclosures, which will go off should he do it again. SpongeBob tries to evade this by keeping the foot with the ankle alarm outside the enclosures, but this fails and he gets kicked out of the zoo, with Patrick sneaking into a sea monkey enclosure so he gets kicked out with him.

SpongeBob is crying on Patrick's rock, until he gets the idea of building a bubble zoo after creating a snot bubble. They create many bubble animals as well as the zoo itself using Extra Strength Bubble Soap. The zoo is visited by many people and it is a success.

Who R Zoo 086

The Bubble Zoo.

Meanwhile, Squidward wakes up from his nap and goes outside, only to get trapped inside one of the bubble animals. After he is released, one of the bubble animals eats his clothes, causing Squidward to panic and pop the entire bubble zoo. The bubble animals get angry at SpongeBob and at the same time, invade the Krusty Krab and the Chum Bucket.

While SpongeBob and Patrick are cornered by the bubble animals, the former calls the animals from the real zoo to defeat the bubble animals. The animals come and the bubble animals get scared by the sea monster, causing them to hide in the Extra Strength Bubble Soap canister. The episode ends with the zoo manager letting SpongeBob back in the zoo for bringing back his animals as well as bringing new bubble animals.
