Aug 27, 2009: New Species

[ZenGum]

This new species is actually endangered, but fortunately there is a captive breeding program.

This reminds me of a illustrated short story I read in the Bank Street Book of Science Fiction when I was a child. The story was called Zoo by Edward D. Hoch.

Good IotD.

Twist: Bristol zoo staff didn't put up the sign.

Zoo staff were surprised and amused to discover the new fixture. Dr Jo Gipps, Director of Bristol Zoo Gardens, said: “This is definitely not one of the Zoo’s own signs, it is clearly a prank and a very good one too. It looks completely genuine. We think it’s great sign and we have absolutely no intention of removing it, however I think one of them is probably enough."

Although staff do not know the origin of the sign, it comes as the famous Bristol street artist, Banksy, holds a ‘homecoming’ exhibition of his work at Bristol Museum nearby.

Crap, if the rumor gets around that Banksy made it, somebody will probably steal it. His work has become quite valuable.

That makes it so much better!

Oh cool... I want one!
