Subject: Same variable name used in block and local question

Can anybody help me here, TIA!!

This is the code.  I expect to see the string "Afterward:turkey", but
why am I getting "Afterward:camel"?  |animal| parameter in a block
should be temporary inside the block, right??


Code:
----------
animal = "turkey"

puts "Original:" + animal
puts

["cow","camel"].each { |animal| puts "in block:" + animal }

puts
puts "Afterwards:" + animal


Output:
-----------
Original:turkey

in block:cow
in block:camel

Afterwards:camel
