HUMAN
Homo sapiens



Zoo visitors and staff have been surprised by the addition of a new and unexpected enclosure at Bristol Zoo Gardens.

A mysterious sign has appeared on the side of the Zoo?s popular Coral Caf?, designating the area as a place to spot one of the world?s most widespread species - Homo sapiens.

The notice, which appeared without warning this week, shows humans ?on display? inside the caf? and includes tongue-in-cheek description of the species and its characteristics.

The light hearted sign explains some well known human characteristics such as: ?The human is one of the world?s most widespread species, and is present on all continents. In adolescence, the offspring adopt a more nocturnal lifestyle and engage in ritualised activities of drinking fermented liquids and dancing to rhythmical sounds, which scientists believe may help them to find a mate.?

It goes on to say: ?The human diet is very adaptable to regional crop varieties and personal taste, with some groups able to live almost exclusively on chipped potatoes and sugary drinks.

?Groups of humans are often fed by unrelated individuals in exchange for tokens made of paper, metal and plastic ? behaviour which can frequently be seen inside this enclosure.?

Zoo staff were surprised and amused to discover the new fixture. Dr Jo Gipps, Director of Bristol Zoo Gardens, said:

Although staff do not know the origin of the sign, it comes as the famous Bristol street artist, Banksy, holds a ?homecoming? exhibition of his work at Bristol Museum nearby.
