A Zoo Prospectus


If you owned a zoo that was in financial difficulties, a good strategy would be to get rid of the animals and replace them with trees and bushes that could be controlled electronically to rustle on command. You could then hire people to stand outside each exhibit and go 'Look! There he goes!!' and point vaguely at a series of rustling bushes. It would be the same experience for visitors but without the expense of feeding and caring for a bunch of savage animals. The other advantage to this strategy is that you could achieve fame and higher gate receipts by opening up new sections of the zoo containing imaginary animals such as unicorns or dragons or curvaceous supermodels.
