    I thought we might start doing an annual poll of how old our ZooChat members are so that we can compare over time how our demographic changes.

    Yup :D, but I am looking forward to my 21st - the serious question is do I do a good deal of zoo visiting for a present, or try and up my personal collection a bit more :p

    So far, it looks like we're a pretty even spread of ages :)
    I'm 24, myself.

    Hmm... do I answer now while I'm still 35, or wait until later in the year when I'll be in the "dangerously close to 40" bracket??

    Interestingly, if you group the age brackets into decades, it seems like a much more even spread:
