    I'm not sure if the monkey really looks like that, or if it's home country ran out of fruit. :p:p:p:p

    In other news, a mongoose has turned into a car.
    While I understand why, and have nothing against this car, it seems weird, as I am used to a mongoose.

    The mongoose could be inside the car. I think that car is creepy anyway. It's certainly no Bessie.

    It's the wrong species of Herpestidae to have car insurance.
    I find it quite endearing, though I used to watch the car quite a bit when I was little, possibly somewhat negating the creepiness.

    It's no weirder than every zoo having a "Family Farm" and/or a "Wolf Woods".

    I've only encountered one Wolf Woods in my life :p At least there are multiple species held in those exhibits and not just generic lorikeets most of the time.

    Don't forget Australian Walkabout and/or Heart of Africa!

    I've never seen either of those names in any zoo I've visited.

    I've never seen the car in moving footage, only as photos. It looks like it is on drugs though - look at those great staring eyes!

    Perhaps the mongoose didn't know it was driving a Honda Civet.

    Never seen a Heart of Africa exhibit, but I have seen tons of Australian Walkabouts!

    I have seen many Wolf Woods exhibits, but never one with multiple species!

    I think it's because @Brum changed his profile picture.

    Ah, I thought they were referring to Mongoose Motorsports. :p

    I haven't been on this thread for ages so imagine my surprise to find out my avatar is #trending on here! :p

    @Swampy I am sorry the mongoose has gone but I feel happier with my current avatar, it's more me. :p

    @Chlidonias (& others), just google Brum and it might not seem as odd...

    Just googled Brum, looked at the Wikipedia page and almost died of laughter! The character names are just way to funny (lollipop lady being my favourite). The best part about Brum (the Tv show not the zoochatter) is the hilarious names for the episodes. My favourites are "Brum and the Golden Loo", "Brum and the Cream Balloon" and "Brum and the Pantomime Cow" but the names are all great.

    Why don't we have this in Canada:p
