Please Do Not Tease or Annoy the Humans
From Times Wire Reports
Eight British men and women at the London Zoo monkeyed around for the crowd behind a sign reading, “Warning: Humans in Their Natural Environment.”
The captives, who won a contest to be in the weekend exhibit, sunned themselves on a rock ledge clad in bathing suits and “fig leaves.” A sign informed visitors about their diet, habitat and worldwide distribution.
A zoo official said the exhibit “teaches ... the public that the human is just another primate.”
