What do you actually do in these situations? Do you publicly interrupt them and correct them and make a point of them being wrong?

I always wonder what to do in these situations. I usually think about saying something but then decide against it.
 
I think being polite is the keyword, LaughingDove.

Anyway, the starting zoochatter always has an improbable fantasy zoo. When they spend some time here, they'll usually grow out of it.
 
When your english teacher says "we are going to be learning about theses today" and you hear "we are going to be learning about feces today" instead
 
I know this is an old thread, but I can't help it:

You might belong or be on ZooChat if...

...your idea of fun is looking at eBird reports of Pin-Tailed Whydahs in Los Angeles.
 
You might belong or be on ZooChat if... you argue with your mother over she disapproves of zoos as she is a PETA supporter.
 
You belong on ZooChat if you go to the zoo and your child moans that you're spending too much time taking photo's of random buildings, construction work, and signs rather than her and animals! Guess what happened to me today? :p ;)

Give me some credit, she only nearly ended up in a rhea enclosure! ;) You do me a disservice sir! A duel at dawn, choose your weapon! :p

You can start at dawn, I'll join you when I get to dawn when the UK catches up! :);)
 
You're a ZooChatter when the zoo's primate curator asks you if you are a historian....

I know you're just hoping that I will chose a brace of pistols and that by the time your dawn comes around I will have run out of bullets. And then you'll turn up with your shurikens. Typical Birmingham dueling tactics.
 
You might belong on Zoochat if:
  • You don't have the urge to tap the exhibit glass.
  • You have super extensive knowledge of collective zoo populations of certain species.
  • You don't sing Hakuna Matata whenever you visit the meerkat or warthog exhibits.
  • You frequently keep yourself up yo date on the latest news and developments in the zoo industry.

I was hoping that you'd be so knackered waiting for me that when I turned up I'd just be able to run up, jump, and headbutt you with my flat cap with its brim full of sharpened ha'pennies! Well I think that's how the Peaky Blinders did it? So that has to be the most Brummie method of attack ever. Strategic, sneaky and savage, that's how this town is run :p :D :D
 
You might belong on Zoochat;
- if you wait in torrential rain to see quolls.
- if you have to explain to onlookers why you are so excited in front of the Melbourne Zoo Amazon Aviary seeing the currasow and their response is “what, that black chicken”.
-if you give random animal facts to anyone who dares to walk into a nocturnal house where you are standing.
-if you ask unsuspecting keepers either random or very specific questions.
-if you cringe everytime you hear someone called a white tiger/ non-subspecific giraffe etc. “critically endangered”, “not many left now” or “on the brink of extinction”.
