711_Zoo
Today's topic is Zoo.
"Despite all their flaws, zoos wake us up. They invite us to step outside our most basic assumptions. Offered for our contemplation, the animals remind us of nature’s impossibly varied schemes for survival, all the strategies that species rely upon for courtship and mating and protecting the young and establishing dominance and hunting for something to eat and avoiding being eaten. On a good day, zoos shake people into recognizing the manifold possibilities of existence, what it’s like to walk across the Earth, or swim in its oceans of fly above its forests—even though most animals on display will never have the chance to do any of those things again, at least not in the wild."
~ Thomas French, Zoo Story: Life in the Garden of Captives
"Zoo: An excellent place to study the habits of human beings."
~ Evan Esar
"Someone told me it's all happening at the zoo."
~ Paul Simon
"The city is not a concrete jungle, it is a human zoo."
~ Desmond Morris

Today's topic is Elephant.
"You know ... they say an elephant never forgets. What they don't tell you is, you never forget an elephant."
~ Bill Murray
"There is no creature among all the Beasts of the world which hath so great and ample demonstration of the power and wisdom of almighty God as the Elephant."
~ Edward Topsell
"Yes, I could see these enormous elephants, whose trunks were tearing down large boughs, and working in and out the trees like a legion of serpents. I could hear the sounds of the mighty tusks uprooting huge trees!"
~ Jules Verne
"No other animal has left such a rich and plentiful succession of traces of its prehistoric physical existence over a period of millions of years, nor provided deeper insights into evolutionary processes over the vast span of earth history, as the elephant."

"An elephant looks large, and it is large, but you have no real idea of how large until you are on its back ten feet above ground and can feel the power of it moving beneath you."
~ Wayne Hepburn

No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.
