Especially since the zoo in question belongs to an alien species and he is one of the exhibits. Me? I just like them because you can watch monkeys playing with their genitalia.įor Bubba, an animal delivery man, zoos mean escape. A chance to study nature's creations close-up, while taking care of those specimens that couldn't fend for themselves in the wild.
