London Zoo in August,

announced the excitement surrounding news that the zoo would soon acquire a

12-year-old male gorilla from a preserve in France. Zoo officials

were pleased, but its three older female gorillas were almost

ecstatic. Shown posters of "Yeboah" the male, female "Zaire"

"shrieked in delight"; "Effie" wedged the poster into a tree and

stared at it; and "Mjukuu" held the photo close to her chest, "then

ate it." [CNN, 8-28-09]

relayed from Chuck Shepherd's 'News of the Weird'

Another animal story, related from memory:

- Male donkeys in pens were given two choices:

on one part of the wall was a full sized photo of the rear of a female donkey.

On the other part of a wall, right alongside, was a feeding trough.

The male donkeys were so fixated on staring at the photo, that they didn't eat, and the posters had to be taken down.

......speaking of 'posters' taken down, .....oh the puns that cometh from naught.
