Toronto transit projects

Presumably the noise and EM radiation impacts on zoo animals wouldn't be so much different from their impact on human animals.

There's a lot of noises (and colours, smells, etc) that human animals can't perceive that non-human animals react very strongly to. And humans wouldn't be exposed 24 hours the way the non-humans will be.

Yes … and yet. Humans will be much closer to the monorail when it operates. While not as long as non-human animals, the latter will not be exposed for 24 hours, either (what are the zoo hours?). Train staff will likely have higher exposure than the non-human animals, which will be much further away. And both sound and radiation intensities drop with the square of the distance.
