    There’s three things that are worse:

    1. Grown adults who call all Ring-tailed lemurs ‘King Julien.’

    2. Grown adults who sing ‘I like to move it, move it’ when they see a Ring-tailed lemur.

    3. Grown adults who do 1) and 2) in sequence.

    Note: the adults in 1) also refer to all Clownfish as ‘Nemo’, all Indo-Pacific surgeon fish as ‘Dory’ and all gorillas as ‘Harambe.’ African lions rotate between getting called ‘Simba’ and ‘Alex’ as the release/rerelease of movies dictate.

    In the US in general. They aren't rare but they aren't common, either.

    But what average visitor wouldn't know what a piranha, penguin, hippo, hammerhead shark, octopus, and jellyfish are?

    Doesn't matter if they know what they are, they will still either behave like they don't or call it weird things like Moto Moto...

    What did the Leafs fan say about the Franklin Park Zoo?
    I can't tell you, as its too profane for this site.

    If you haven't guessed, I really hate Boston, if you must know. I'm a proud Torontonian, and I wouldn't be if I allowed it and those Bruins any mercy.
