HUMAN ZOO

Do you know about HUMAN ZOO in Australia?? An Australian zoo has put a group of humans on display to raise awareness about primate conversation. The humans will be locked in an unused orangutan cage at Adelaide Zoo. They will eat bananas and will be monitored by a psychologist who hopes to use the findings to improve conditions for real apes in captivity. Audiences can vote for their favorite "ape". At the end of the month, a "super human" will be selected to represent the zoo. One of the human apes said, "get myself out of my comfort zone and to get a week off work." On the ather hand, some onlooker disappointed this human zoo. I am surprised at this news! I do not understand why this human zoo has been selected as the way to create awareness of the closeness of humans to their primate cousins because the article did not have much information. So I cannot say whether human zoo is good. If you interested in this zoo, check the web site! (Humanzoo.com.au)
