Animal shows, yeah, I’ll tell you, you definitely need showmanship because they can be deadly boring or disinteresting if the person who’s on stage isn’t good at performing. This was reinforced by the now CEO of ZooTampa who said we need someone with an entertainment background to be on stage to really make these shows hum. Otherwise, it gets too much of the same kind of constant patter. Interesting but you know, not real exciting. So I’m okay with them, think they’re fine to a level, but I think, again, respectful of the animal, make sure we’re giving factual information, and that the demonstration part of it is one of their natural behaviors that we’re not making them do tricks. We’ve stayed away from all that trick stuff at ZooTampa. We don’t do any of that. I think the days of Sea Lion shows and whatever, they’re cute, but you know, it’s a little bit of carney and I know some zoos now that have sea lion shows where it’s all natural behaviors and it’s just much better.
