AT THE ZOO: The Greatest Thing Was Not the Rhino · 12 September 09

The Best Part of the Trip to the Kumamoto Zoo

I wrote it because it is true. The proof is at 1:10 (feel free to skip ahead).

  1. Suddenly I feel as though I should go out and impress some mechanical engineers so they’ll design me my own pig mobile with independent suspension…

  2. How does one impress mechanical engineers?

  3. I don’t know why, but that made me smile so much. Notice how the zebra’s tail was swishing in time to the music?

  4. I have to admit, the Kumamoto zoo is the saddest zoo I’ve ever been to in my life. The polar bear isn’t even white anymore. :-(
    But the pig with the steering wheel IS pretty darn fun.

    At least the elephants don’t throw rocks at your head there like they do here…http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2009/09/117_51885.html

  5. It’s true, the polar bear is kind of green.

    The monkeys have a nice island to themselves, and seem pretty happy, though.

    Mana did the editing, and she synced up the track, zebra tail and all.

  6. I can’t fathom that it’d be any different than trying to impress another sector of the population. If you wanted to throw in something about thermodynamics or kinematics I’m sure it would only serve as a boon. Personally, I’d find a way to include something about Newtonian mechanics

    We don’t have a polar bear at my local zoo, green or otherwise. :(
