San Diego Zoo

Look at this fucker! Mad eh? Pangolin, that.

Some bright spark has made the bold decision to put three "cheeky monkeys" in with the orangutangs. They spend the day arseing about on ropes and pulling the dreadlocks on the massive daddy organutang's thighs. The look of genuine sadness in his little eyes as he hallfheartedly chases them round the pen in an effort to salvage a little dignity in front of his laydeez is going to keep me chuckling for months. He's got a massive face see!

He had the last laugh though, sprinting accross his enclosure to make some complicated sex with an orangatangette mere inches away from where a group of mexican toddlers were pressing their faces up against the glass. A tribute then to "the old man of the woods".

They had some tapirs and that too. If you like that sort of thing.

While I understand that gate reciepts are going to be down "in the current economic climate" and that the cost of zoos-worth of bananas and horse tranquilisers must have skyrocketed recent in recent months I still though some of the cost cutting measures were a bit pathetic.

Clearly a painting:

I can see the elastic:

I could go to ANY WEDDING and see this:
