Councilman Ail Esale Ort was a member of the Bluff City Council and the Bluff City Zoo board. He had recently taken on a managerial role as Councilman in Charge of Public Zoos, replacing Ms Sloane.
Ort fired Dax Leopard from job as small mammals keeper after too many of the animals were lost, though Dax was later rehired.
During the "A Zoo Is A Body" party at Zoo 2, Ort was killed and eaten by Ralph the snake after the balcony he was leaning on collapsed.
