- An elephant once told us that it is fascinating to be in a zoo and study the exotic species and habits of human beings collected there. Some human specimens, he explained, have such expressive faces that they are startlingly like high-brow animals such as the chimpanzees and other simians. Some people move about with almost the dignity and serenity of an elephant, while others squawk and hop and flap around curiously like the way life unfolds in the birdhouse. Then there are the rare, seldom-seen exhibits; once a man just stared at the elephant all day—he probably belonged to the family homo sapiens Johnius Clymerbus. “He seemed harmless,” mused the elephant. “Still, I was glad to be safe behind bars where people can’t get at me.”
