Monkeys at large in Edinburgh! [Jul. 8th, 2009|10:00 am]
[Tags|, ]

Hee! A bunch of barbary macaques escaped from their enclosure at Edinburgh zoo five days ago, and are still at large. Good for them! :)

I like zoos up to a point, but I prefer wild animals to be in their natural habitats wherever possible. When they escape like this, it's a reminder that they're real creatures, and not animatronic exhibits that exist for our amusement.

Still, the macaques probably won't do too well in the Scottish climate, so I hope they return to their enclosure after they've had their fun, and have caused a bit of chaos and disruption. :)

How can people not know about Bonobos? [Dec. 5th, 2007|10:08 am]

[mood | confused]

El came home last night, telling me she'd been discussing Bonobos at her work and no-one believed they were real! They thought she'd made them up! Particularly the sexual aspects of their behaviour...

I'd have thought Bonobos were pretty famous by now, but obviously it's possibe to get through life without having heard about them. Odd.

Anyway, she's printed off some information from Wikipedia and taken it to work with her, so she'll be banishing the ignorance of her colleagues as we speak. :)
