At the St. Louis Zoo yesterday, I watched this drama unfold. A bird landed in the prairie dog area and decided that it wanted the prairie dog to share its food. The prairie dog (and yet another prairie dog) remained stoic throughout this ordeal (this is a series of 13 photos), which begs for cartoon captions.
My son and I laughed a lot! A good photographer is some times in the right place at the right time—and they have a camera ready. We were at the St. Louis Zoo recently (sorry I didn’t have time to stop in for a visit) and did not have my camera when I was presented with a unique sight at the chimpanzee area. It was feeding time and two of the more amorous chimps answered the question of which has a higher priority: eating or reproducing? It turns out it was a tie! As they progressed in their own two-person (?) conga line over to the feeding area. When you get a chance, please notify your local authorities about this practice. There oughta be a law against that kind of thing.
Mike: I’ll be frank here. Are you saying that you witnessed oral sex at the zoo? If so, the zoo ought to use this incident cleverly to its advantage. They should arrange for you to be interviewed by the local newspaper, at which time you would express your indignation and your fear that your son has been permanently emotionally damaged by what the chimps did. Then the zoo would issue a public apology for the explicit sex.
Then zoo attendance swells, all of those additional people walking briskly to the chimp area, but denying that they ever read about the chimp oral sex.
Oral, no. Good-old-fahioned chimp-style, yes.
