Funny Zoo Stories

I have three funny stories although the last one is kinda sad:

Back in late 2017 (near New Years Day), I took a week long trip with my family to Sydney. At some point during our trip, we went to Featherdale Wildlife Park. I was looking at one of the exhibits when I felt something wet and cold plop on my head. I looked up and there was an ibis perched on a branch on a tree right above me. I thought it was a coincidence since it was a little bit cloudy and I thought it was starting to rain. But as I touched my head, my fingers became covered in some white liquid. I then realized the bird pooped on me! My dad also got pooped on when we went to the Taronga Zoo and he was almost pooped on a second time but the bird's aim was a little off.

Possibly around 2010-2013, I went to the San Diego Zoo. I was looking at these two bonobos behind glass, one male, one female. I was really close to the glass and so were they. I think they were mates so the male got really aggressive. I guess he viewed me as a threat, so he pounded super hard on the glass. I was really young back then, so I got scared and started crying. My mom had to spend the next 3-4 years convincing me to not hate all "chimpanzees".

Around 2014-2015, I went to the Monterey Zoo. I was looking at one of the exhibits when something small and furry ran onto my feet. I was wearing flip flops at the time so I could feel the little feet of the small animal on my foot. I looked down and a mouse was sitting on my foot. I got startled and flung it off. It landed near another person and they accidentally stepped on it. :(
