I liked the philosophy. And my immediate responses was the biggest thing I was given when I was there was they had a new general curator, Ken Redman, who later went on to become the assistant director and director of the Honolulu Zoo, was recently promoted up from the ranks there, was to find the animals for this exhibit. And you know, I got challenges of he would like to have some (indistinct), when we were talking about originally was gonna have Australian Dingos. I said yeah, I can get some, and I didn’t know what they were. I went back and looked it up and found out they’re these New Guinea Singing Dogs, and there were none in the country at the time. But I had traveled to Australia already and had developed relationships at Sydney and Melbourne and Adelaide Zoos. And I found some at the Melbourne Zoo and was able to trade three squirrel monkeys for a pair of New Guinea Singing Dogs. And the rest is history on there because from those and another import that we brought in from Germany, they’re now quite, I mean, they’re found in a few zoos, but they’re also in the regular dog world now.
