Worlds Most Dangerous Animal

rsk11584 · Oct 8th, 2009, 22:26

A very creative message,

Today I went to crocodile bank, and there I saw this peculiar box with warning on it that if you open the box you will see the worlds most dangerous animal, I hoped to see a python or some cobra snake, but to my utter shock when I opened the box I found that inside the box there is a mirror. A really creative initiative, to explain the destruction caused by humans.

Neat, yes. London Zoo has a similar display --- I think us humans are universally acknowledged as being pretty dodgy and destructive animals!

There's some nice signs at the crocodile park, like the one that shows what it would be like if the crocs were outside the cages, throwing stones at people on the inside. Isn't it disgusting that people go to zoos and try to disturb the animals into providing entertainment for them!

I think zoos the world over has such displays. I've seen this
for the first time in the Pittsburgh zoo, many years back.
It is so true!

I'm not sure if this happens in other countries. It certainly does all over India. Shame!

Yes, remember children harassing the caged animals at Darjeeling zoo - the parents seemed to accept it as normal behaviour.

but in crocodile park it is a real win win situation for crocs, in one pond there were approx 430 crocks all over each other looked like the pond was full of them and the compound wall was just around 2 feet in height, so anyone could jump and go near the crocs. But it was too risky affair, extreme natural environment.

I guess Rom never met up with a Brazilian wandering spider.

I just read this in a Bill Bryson book last night and thought it was relavant:

Quote:

People in the West like to shoot things. When they first got to the West they shot buffalo. Once there were 70 million buffalo on the plains and then the people of the West started blasting away at them. Buffalo are just cows with big heads. If you'ave eaver looked a cow in the face and seen the unutterable depths of trust and stupidity that lie within, you will be able to guess how difficult it must have been for people in the West to track down buffalo and shoot them to pieces. By 1895, there were only 800 buffalo left, mostly in zoos and touring Wild West shows. With no buffalo left to kill, Westerners started shooting Indians. Between 1850 and 1890 they reduced the number of Indians in America from two million to 90,000
