Since we have multiple threads on this site that relate to irritating and laughable statements made by typical zoo guests, I was interested in starting a thread where people can share the more intelligent statements they've heard. I say 'kids' because they are the ones that you wouldn't expect to hear random animal facts from children. I apologize if there is already a thread for this.
Last year I heard a child approximately at the age of 5, telling his grandmother how a bonobo is a human's closest relative.
On one occasion I heard a little girl at around the age of 4 correcting her father that gorillas are apes, not monkeys.
Without him reading the sign, I heard an 8 year old boy correct his mother on the fact that okapis are related to giraffes, not zebras.

D) whenever I look like I am/about to take a picture I see other kids say "Oh I'm sorry" and they move away (To which I usually reply something about how it's no problem, I'd rather let young kids learn/watch an animal than me take a picture of one)
