There's a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot of stupid people at zoos, that i can safely say. Do quotes from movies count? Because when i watched the MST3K of Devil Fish, there's one scene where an "expert" claims the following:
- Kronosaurus was a shark that lived in the Jurassic that evolved from Dinichthys.
- Tylosaurus is also a shark and is pronounced ti-lo-sor-us as opposed to tie-lo-sor-us
- Prehistoric marine life lived in the Cetaceous period 200 years ago. Not two hundred million. Two hundred.
This may sound smart to anybody who knows nothing about prehistoric marine life (the public), but anybody on this forum knows this is a bunch of <removed>
Please don't swear, even if it's censored ;)

If you multiply anything times 0, it's meant to be 0. At least that's the rule of math I learned.
First rule of math is multiplication comes first. Except when there's brackets.
1+1+1+1+1+1*0=1+1+1+1+1+0=5

hating Africam these days because the cameras just won't zoom on the animals.
yesterday there was a black rhino at Tembe but of course the camera ignored it and kept recording a drinking elephant, as if we never see that scene ...

There is only one leopard seal in captivity anywhere in the world, anyway. And he lives in Australia.

Some people... but to each their own, I guess. I can't tell one car from another, so who am I to talk.
Actually there are two now (Atleast there were 2 when I went to Taronga zoo the year before last year...)

Yeaaaah, but part of going to the zoo is learning about the creatures you're oohing and ahhing over. If he had been like "I think that's a Leopard Seal," it probably wouldn't have been as funny (to me). Instead he was clearly trying to sound like he knew what he was talking about whilst bragging to his girl and his buddies. When I don't know something, I say "I don't know."

It seriously bothered me when we went through the Reptile House and some dumb broad was like "Ew, just kill them! Ew, ew!" while walking past the snake terrarium windows.

What annoys you doesn't necessarily have to be fair. :P
I was at the Detroit Zoo a few weeks ago, (wearing a very fancy fedora the entire time) and was really annoyed how their website calls them Harp Seals when they were clearly harbor seals.

I guess the zoo itself bothered me... We got there an hour after it opened and just got through half the zoo. Didn't see any of the Africa section, and none of the animals had toys. The bush dogs and anteaters were the only active animals I saw.

The toys are behind the scenes.


I've been to the Detroit Zoo multiple times, and trust me: they h r the best of both worlds. XD

Speaking of people at the zoo, I remember a few years ago at the Shedd Aquarium, this one woman called a Pacific white-sided dolphin a killer whale. I mean seriously?

And I have some serious cases of ignorance too at my local zoo. I can understand calling a python a boa or a nutria a beaver, but definitely not calling a coati a cat.

How fast old friends just seem to abandon a relationship. :/

I mean, I know we move on and stuff, but I can't help but feel a bit selfish. I'm going to miss you no matter how hard I try to ignore you.
