I think you get them up close and personal. There’s nothing in the world like getting nose to nose with a tiger or a gorilla or whatever, through you know, with nothing between you and that animal but a pane of glass. What would be even better is if you could touch him and smell him, you know. I mean you can’t really know an elephant unless you can touch his hide and hear his belly rumble and, and maybe smell the elephant. Now in today’s world, I mean, the old days we used to do that. I mean, we used to, we used to routinely take a, you can’t say blind kids anymore. It’s gotta be visually impaired, I guess, but. But, you know, we used to, we used to take the, the kids who couldn’t see, and we would, we would just routinely take a class of 30 or 40 kids and put them in with an elephant because we had an elephant that we could do that with, with a couple of keepers.
