It’s a treasure. In some cases, there are fewer such animals than there are Rembrandts. For example, there are probably some 400 Rembrandts we know of, just about 400 California condors, many fewer Sumatran rhinos. And on the Rembrandt matter, we’ve often heard that he painted 400 paintings in his lifetime and all 700 or in the United States. A great task for a zoo is to convey the value of the animal and its interest. And this brings me to the second point I would make beyond don’t trivialize, wherever you can, present the animal beautifully with stunning exhibits. Now you can’t do that with everything. It’s kind of hard to make a mud turtle beautiful, although I personally think that wonderful animals.
