You might belong or be on zoochat if...

Just out of curiosity- who is the genius who created zoochat? I have a lot of respect for whoever did.

I believe it was mr. Simon Hampel who created this fine website.

 

[animalszoos]

Whenever you hear someone mention a city, you:
a) Immediately think of the zoo they have; or
b) Immediately search '[name of city] zoo' on google.


Whenever you see a travel guide, for some reason you find yourself going to the index at the back of the book, looking under the letter 'Z'

 

[Mr. Zootycoon]

If you know that the term 'animal' does not only include mammals.

You cringe when you hear that a zoo has "animals and birds" somewhere on the news.

 

[Water Dragon]

If you get bugged when people call all invertebrates "insects".

EDIT: No pun intended

 

[Azamat Shackleford]

When you hear people say they've never been to the zoo or that they've only been there once in their whole lives (am I doing this right?)

Also when you cringe when people only care about the "cute" and "cuddly" animals.

 

[Crowthorne]

When you overhear some of the other commuters mention the zoo and you can't help but listen to find out what zoos they're taking about

And extra merit if you stay on a station or two after your stop to find out which zoo it is.

 

[Water Dragon]

If you have to wait for ages for your companions to finish looking at the monkeys; but when you want to stop to look at a rare species of bird/reptile/fish they just drag you away.

 

[Water Dragon]

If you like zoos

 

[animal_expert01]

You know and are disgusted by what a utilitree is.

Well clearly I don't belong here...

 

[jwer]

When your friends send you pictures of random enclosures / animals whenever they are in a zoo and go " guess where we are"!

(Lot of fun actually, specially when you got some little obscure zoo right)

 

[Chlidonias]

When your friends send you pictures of random enclosures / animals whenever they are in a zoo and go " guess where we are"!

(Lot of fun actually, specially when you got some little obscure zoo right)

and you text them back and say "oh hey, I'm over by the chimps, where are you?" and then go over and meet them.

I saw this done on a parrot forum and thought it would be fun to do here:

You might belong or be on zoochat if....

You cringe at the words "meerkat" or "Ring Tailed Lemur"

you go on pilgrimages to the "Congo Gorilla Forest"

You argue about free or protected contact the way other people argue prolife or prochoice.

Your summer plans involve going to the zoo once a week at least.

Your favorite animal growing up wass along thelines of pygmy hippo, jaguarundi, aardwolf, baikal seal or drill.

When you here someone say bongos you think aboutthe forest antelope not the drum.

You know and are disgusted by what a utilitree is.

Your summer plans involve going to the zoo three times a week at least

 

[The_UltimateBea]

You cringe when someone says "Africa Rocks has bunch of new monkeys".

 

[Dylan]

When you get annoyed at your local zoo for removing an invertebrate or amphibian.

 

[TeaLovingDave]

and you text them back and say "oh hey, I'm over by the chimps, where are you?" and then go over and meet them.

And they flee from your approach because you have just been viewing chimps?

 

[Chlidonias]

And they flee from your approach because you have just been viewing chimps?

but they are watching the meerkats, because they aren't Zoochatters, so you don't want to go over there anyway.

 

[pachyderm pro]

If during every vacation you take you go to at least 1 zoo each (guilty).

When you have every single season of "The Crocodile Hunter" on dvd.

When you hear a volunteer say something wrong and a huge grin comes across your face, because you know your about the prove him/her wrong.

When all your friends ask if you have snapchat, twitter or Instagram and you reply, "I only have good social media!"

and most of all...

If you create a thread about zoochat stereotypes .

 

[Water Dragon]

If people look at you funny for taking photos of construction, signage, scenery, etc.
