This morning.
Via Dublin Zoo:
We surpassed the 60 million visitor mark on Tuesday when Sandra Manzor, Darren O’Connor and six-month-old baby Mason O’Connor from Drimnagh arrived through the gates to be welcomed by Dublin Zoo Director, Dr Christoph Schwitzer, and awarded with a bouquet of flowers and an annual pass to Dublin Zoo to mark the milestone.
In September 1831, Dublin Zoo opened to members of the Zoological Society of Ireland and visitors who could afford the six pence entrance fee….

I went to a zoo once and the only animal there was a dog.
It was a shitzu.
hopefully they could pick up the flowers on the way out. Moving a baby that small can be like mobilising an army.
what do you call a monkey that can cook sausages?
a grilla.
*flings poo*
An annual pass. You’d think they’d give them lifetime membership or a free monkey or something like that.
I’ve spent the last two weeks watching all the old Planet of the Apes films (and the Tim Burton one on Tuesday) and this can only be a great idea with no downsides :)
I can’t bear these animal puns.
There’s not an ocelot you can do about them.
gerraffe with yeh
There’s no point in gibbon out to me.
I gnu you’d snap back with something like that.
don’t you find them a-moose-ing?
They’re all right as long as they don’t cross a lion.or badger someone because they’ve been out-foxed.
Being seen to be catty or a smart-ass is always the elephant in the room.
quite right, deer.
