You get irritated by phrases such as 'animals and birds,' 'animals and insects' or 'animals and fish.' Also you get irritated by headlines such as 'Monkeying around,' accompanied by a photo of a chimpanzee or orang-utan.
- You think that animal rights activists are as evil (or even more evil) as IS terrorists.
- You see in your mind in every non-developped corner of a zoo a new exhibit for another species
- You hate the cold months, because this period limitates your choice/your chances of visiting zoos (some zoos are closed or you can only see a few species in their outside exhibit).
- You think that, if you would ever be president or prime minister of your nation, the first thing that you would do is to organize a breeding pair of Giant Pandas, Koalas, Amazon River Dolphins, Zebra Duiker or Golden Snub-nosed-monkey for one of the zoos in that country.

-Your visits to the local food co-op are less frequent because of the animal rights activists that work there.
-A stretch but you can identify which feces came out of which individual just by looking at said feces because you are so familiar with said particular cohort of animals.
- You know the difference between a porcupine and a hedgehog.

You are the only one at the zoo actually paying attention.
You try and remember what the previous occupant of an enclosure was.
You fly into Heathrow and you get excited because you can just about see London Zoo and its buildings in Regent's Park.
You stand-up at 6.00,
take a taxi ( cab ) to go to the Railway station 16 km away,
take the train at 7.50, step-over to another train to arrive at about 9.00 in Eindhoven,
take a bus to Veldhoven,
take a walk of about 3 kilometer to Veldhoven Zoo.
In the afternoon you take the same way back with the difference that you have to walk the last 16 kilometers because the bus don't drive anymore at this time !
And all that only to see a pair of Bare-throated fruitcrows ( and some other birds
) !

Sad to say but you were relieved when the baby Elephant died in "The Elephant Whisperer" because it proved that baby Elephants die in the wild as well.

Um, I once jumped on a plane and flew all the way to New Zealand just to see a bird that had gone on display temporarily. All my workmates thought I was nuts.

If you think the car in front of you is being driven by a crested mangabey 
I stopped in a queue of cars at a red traffic light this morning and I was watching the lights and the oncoming traffic, when my brain 'recognised' the profile of the driver of the car in front as a crested mangabey looking left. In fact, it was the rather elaborate hairstyle of a lady driver looking right

I must look out for a few animal 'lookalikes'.
We do sometimes liken other peoples' behaviour we observe to that of similar Primate situations- usually Chimps or Gorillas...
