    Does "making way back home" have to do with migration?

    Well, the reference to "making my way back home" implies a taxon which is being reintroduced; of those taxa for which Bronx is involved in breeding and reintroduction, only one that I can think of is connected to dams - the Kihansi Spray Toad, which went extinct due to habitat destruction connected to the construction of a dam.

    I assume the borough means the Bronx itself :p

    So..... Kihansi Spray Toad?

    what I meant was that the clue said damed. I had to re-find ThylacineAlive's answer to my earlier query to find he did mean dammed (or damned by connection) and damed had nothing to do with it. So I deleted my post.

    Does vanilla have to do with Mexico or related locations?

    I think it means Miami:

    "Take heed 'cause I'm a lyrical poet
    Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it
    My town that created all the bass sound
    ....."

    Because there's an elephant skeleton by the exhibit and the bones were as white as vanilla.
