You can see one elephant house here, an elephant house here, an elephant house here, they’re all different. The same is true of, of all their interpretation, which is why, going back to your question, but what makes a good curator visiting other zoos, seeing what they do and how they do it. And then, you know, interpretation may not be your responsibility, but you can take some pictures and you go back to your education department, whoever it is that does your signage and go, I went to Antwerp Zoo and they had this really cool label about the sea lions, here’s a picture of it. You know. So I think there are places that have done it well, places that have done it in a very pedestrian manner, but there’s a lot of wonderful interpretation out there. The side of it that I, that does make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up with fear is going down the museum route or what seems to be the modern museum route where it’s all push buttons and electrics and and whatnot. And almost getting away from the, the point, the point of the visit is to look at the animals, is to see a lion in the flesh, to see a chimpanzee in the flesh. And and I think it’s a, it’s a huge mistake to distract from that, that basic visitor experience. And by introducing for want of a better term, modern technology, I think it detracts from that.
