Come one, come all, to the new Human Interaction Exhibit. Animals of all ages can roam around freely to observe humans in their natural habitats. 

There are many types of humans at the exhibit: meat eaters and vegetarians, the tech-obsessed and the elderly who can’t use a cell phone, artists, couch potatoes, and even the always-working.

“The humans are very entertaining, but they’re always in a hurry. They need to learn to slow down and relax,” said Sloan the sloth. 

Watch as babies learn to walk, or as seniors argue in the park. Petting the humans is allowed, but be cautious as some of them might bite.  

“The humans are a lot shorter up close,” said Gerry the giraffe.  

Our personal favorite part of the exhibit is the cafeteria where the humans eat. Humans are separated when eating since some are herbivores and some are carnivores. The meat eaters sure do love their chicken! 

“The humans are very interesting creatures; I’ve never seen anything like them before. They have no fur! I wonder if they’re always cold?” said Liona the lioness.  

The couch potatoes don’t move much. Each human seems to claim its spot on a couch to make itself comfortable. Humans usually do this to de-stress themselves and rest. 

“The Humans don’t travel in groups they are usually alone. They don’t hiss at others either, which I was shocked to find out,” said Sophia the snake.  

Ticket prices may vary for baby cubs. Treats are provided for the humans at the exhibit. Snack stands are open for all animals from sunlight to sundown.
