zoo

Zoos have to hold the title of some of the weirdest places to work. Where else do you have to deal with dangerous smelly animals as well as customers? What other job might you be briefed that the lion just ate the peacock? Zoos have the strange reality of being full of workers who are highly educated but also still have to shovel tons of chimp crap for a few dollars above minimum wage. 

Zookeepers have strange and interesting jobs compared to what most of us do all day, so seeing them imitate animals makes us excited but also virulently jealous. Zookeepers at the Minnesota Zoo took photos of themselves as the animals they work with, and it makes us want to look for a job openings at the zoo. Our favorite is the millipede.

These zookeepers experienced some alarmingly close brushes with unexpectedly dangerous animals. Whatever you might see in an animal's appearance is just that; it's what's taking place in the brain that occupies their skull, you need be wary of. With no way to understand animals on a verbal level, we've gotta fall back on our crazy thing called an animal instinct. 

The Philadelphia Zoo says he's just trying to keep his hands from getting dirty, but naturally the internet turned it into more than one conspiracy theory.

Sure, they lost a Super Bowl bet against Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, Rhode Island, and these are some truly trying circumstances; but at least anyone who actively rooted (continues to root) against the Patriots can consider themselves the real winners in this situation. If we get really lucky in this situation, maybe Brady will step up with a retort. Or he's still too busy out there hunting down his stolen Super Bowl game jersey.

Hey, if you can't beat 'em...

Obvious Plant knows that most people love two things: animals and jokes. So he put them together and printed out a bunch of funny and fake animal facts, then he left them all over his local zoo.
