If they’re based somewhere in Central Asia, they go to Tashkent and some of the other zoos around there and Almaty and they say, “Well, this is the kind of yardstick that we’re following.” If they’re fortunate enough to be based in Southeast Asia, hopefully they go to Singapore Zoo and they kind of come back and say, “Well, yeah, we should follow a slightly more naturalistic thing.” But I think the problem is that a lot of zoos are designed by architects, and architects are trained to create monuments for their own egos. And so the architect will generally kind of create something which is not particularly functional for the animal, but they have some concepts which they think are very interesting. So the elephant house in London, which was designed by Sir Hugh Casson, the main issues was that the walls of the house were rough off form concrete, which looked like the skin of an elephant. And this was probably one of the most important things that the architect contributed towards the fact that they were displaying elephants. So it is that kind of thing, really.
