Wanna hire a Cheetah?

A disgusting way to treat wild animals. They should be free to roam where there is ample room to run and hunt other wild animals.
Porirua or Invercargill perhaps?

Its almost the same as watching humans fight!

An orang-utan for me please (hey Hitcher, that's Pongo pygmaeus). Chimps I believe are inclined to masturbate at the drop of a hat whereas an orang-utan is just ridiculously cute all the time.

The Auckland Zoo has just got two male cheetah. These cheetah have been hand-raised in South Africa like the ones in Wellington, so they are used to human touch. Rhino and I were the first to do a Cheetah Encounter with the Auckland ones. For me it was an awesome experience!! To be up close and patting these awesome cats is a real experience and I was not scared once. To hear their purr is so cool.

By the way although I would rather see these animals in the wild, this is the only way some of them can ever be saved - cause of humans!!

I have also patted at the zoo:

Lion cubs
Tiger
Rhino
Hippo
Giraffes
Cotton top tamarins

Feed at the zoo:-
Lions
Hippos
Rhino
Giraffes
Lemurs
Cotton Top Tamarins

I can post piccies of our Cheetah Encounter if you don't believe me!!

Chimps that masturbate an excessive amount in captivity generally are those that have anxiety issues. Funny, the can be said for humans...

I went to the zoo about 2 years ago.. spent just over 90 minutes there.. the first 15 minutes were spent wandering around.... i then wandered out, not finding any of the other animals interesting..

oh yeah, the otter tried to steal my brain.. i spent over an hour staring at it, with no interest in going anywhere else..

This is a pic Rhino took the other day of an otter at Auckland Zoo. You have to be patient and wait to see animals, even in the wild!! Patience with animals is the winner.

And here are the pics of the Cheetah Encounter!!
