Since when did animals poop all that much at once?
Best murals / mosaics at zoos
- Thread starter Onychorhynchus coronatus
- Start date
London Zoo's giraffe house used to have a family tree of ungulates that doubled up as a pegboard for each species. If London Zoo had the species, a red button was pushed into the hole. If Whipsnade Zoo had it, a green button was pushed into the zoo. If both zoos had it, a red and green button was pushed into the zoo. I liked looking at the board to see if there were any new species. After a time, the classification was very outdated and the mural was covered over.

Technically it isn't biogeographically or ecologically correct either, as you would never find a lion taking a crap next to a ring tailed lemur , lol

What do you mean? Have you never hear of the New Zealand Lion native to Greenland and Madagascar?Technically it isn't biogeographically correct either, as you would never find a lion taking a crap next to a ring tailed lemur , lol

Maybe it can be trophy hunted and money raised for its conservation ?
It was there in the 1960s and 1970s, possibly the 1980s.
As "Dassie rat" stated the Ungulate Family Tree adorned the Giraffe House wall in the 1960s and 1970s. It was definitely still there in the 1980s and 1990s too (although towards the end the red and green buttons, which denoted whether the species was at London Zoo and / or Whipsnade, ceased to be kept up to date).
I wish I knew what happened to it; I hope it is preserved somewhere.

As yes, I was also think we could send some white mutations to Joe Exotic to entertain him in jail. Here is one of the ones that currently resides in Costa Rica:

Sounds like a wonderful plan.
Wasn't that particular specimen alleged to have been "disappeared" by a drug cartel in Ticolandia ?

Wait that was supposed to be kept secret! Jerald must have told the press, always messing up my illegal plans. Like the one time he told people the moon landing was fake. I made so much money off of that fake moon landing but he ruined it!!!

Great news! A female specimen has been captured, so now we can finally start a captive breeding population of this rare and majestic creature!

Minimalist mural at Kyoto Aquarium at the entrance to their African Penguin exhibit. I quite like the design.
