If it’s an institution that’s directed at animals of the Sonoran Desert, then that’s what your collection composition should be. That’s your story. That’s your mission. If your education program is to teach and to make aware a more worldly group of animals then pursue that. Again, I don’t think there’s any set answer. It’s got to be what fits the institution and what fits their mission and what their vision is and it’s got to be scaled appropriately. I’ve seen zoos that spend a whole lot of money on an exhibit that they probably could have done in much smaller fashion and spread the money around to some other parts of their collection but someone gets focused. I can remember going into a zoo and looking at it and looking at the collection figuring, well, this has a large bird collection.
