I went to a zoo in China. It only had one animal, a dog.
It was a shih tzu.

Strange, yet interesting, what actaully makes one place a zooligical garden, perhaps its just a place where wild animals are held in enclosures,

This is not really a joke; in fact, it is a true story:-

When Jack Throp, former director of Honolulu Zoo was appointed director of Taronga Zoo, Sydney, he called together the senior staff at Taronga, introduced himself and requested that they take off their shoes and put them in a pile. Puzzled, they did so.

Jack then took off his shoes and put them on top of the pile. "Now you know where I stand," he told them.

Is this really true? As that is so funny if he really did do this.

Yeah, maybe it will become a regular, a joke ( based-on-a true-event) anyway, many jokes are based on true accounts, just modified over time.

Due to the credit crunch the local mine shut down and the dwarf had to get a new job. Times were hard and the dwarf tried everywhere - finally he gets to the zoo.

"We've had a bad case of avian flu and all the penguins have died," said the zoo keeper. "As they are our biggest attraction, I need you to dress up as a penguin and pretend to be one all day. It pays $50 and all the fish you can eat."

Well that's not too bad, thinks the dwarf, so the next day he is their flapping about and swimming and eating fish. "Not a great job, but hey, we've all had worse," he says to himself..

A few weeks later some local kids are visiting and decide to have some fun - by throwing a penguin into the Lion's den. So they pick up the dwarf despite him flapping his little wings and chuck him over the fence.

He looks around and sees a huge lion approaching... its crawling up on him until he sees the whites of his eyes. In panic the dwarf shrieks, "LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, I'M NOT REALLY A PENGUIN - I AM A DWARF IN A PENGUIN SUIT!"

"Shut up or you'll get us both sacked!" says the lion.

There's an old zoo joke I have heard in various versions, but I'm not sure whether it is too "r-rated" for this forum. If so, please feel free to delete it.

"A mother and her toddler are watching the rhinos in the zoo. One male is clearly sexually aroused. The toddler, with the typical curiosity of that age, pointing at the erection, asks the mother: "What is this?" The blushing mother: "Th..that's nothing, dear." A zookeeper, having overheard this, laconically remarks to his colleague: 'Missus surely's spoiled...' "
