You might belong or be on zoochat if...

I can't walk through a park without thinking about how I would make it a zoo. One of my favourites is Queens Park in Moonee Ponds and my ultimate is the Royal Botanic Gardens.

Now that is something I do all the time, eg see a few spreading trees and think what a great red panda enclosure that would make
 
You know what 1.3.7 means when it appears after an animals name in a species list.

I feel the same way on my visits to Kew Gardens. There are sometimes big gaps between houses and I think a few animal exhibits could be introduced to broaden the appeal of visitors, especially as Kew Gardens isn't that cheap to visit, despite being subsidised by the Government
 
You sometimes catch yourself calling animals by their scientific name because you prefer the sound of it to their common name :rolleyes:
 
You aren't connected with a Zoo in any way so can say what you think on here freely without fear of a reprimand.:(

If you have no social life, friends, or girlfriend/boyfriend.

If you know what an Arthropleura or Elasmotherium is.

If the first thing you do when you go home is check your email for ZooChat replies.

How would you non-literally (metaphorically?) watch ESPN right now?:D

You can metaphorically watch it 24/7 as I'm sure he actually meant, because he is certainly not ACTUALLY watching it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Most people I know sleep at least some of the time, therefore this is a metaphor, and the use of the word literally was quite improper. There's an entire generation of people who I would like to ban from using the word literally because they think it adds emphasis rather than clarifying between metaphor and reality.

I always remember one contestant on a game-show or reality show or some-such, saying that being eliminated from the competition "was literally a kick in the face" :D
