A German zoo has hired a local clown to entertain their monkeys.
The poor chaps were bored with poo-flinging and banana-eating, and what with the series finale of "Gilmore Girls" being over and all that, they needed something to perk them up a bit.

"...Animals that have something to do are happier and more balanced." Amen.

*shudders*
-
Perhaps in Germany, clowns are not as scary as they are here.
-
Clowns? Well, that should cause a resurgence in poo-flinging! /WhatABadIdeaFilter
-
Luckily here we have so many of our own clowns!
-
Maybe the clown can borrow their tiny tricycles.
-
It turned out it was a vagina, not a clown car. *removes rainbow wig*
-
Now monkeys can share in our nightmares!

Look, everybody! Pete's got big, baggy clown pants! Oops, never mind.

They could have saved some ducats had they just bought DVDs of Lance Link, Secret Chimp.

I used to love Lance Link! Like Get Smart, Lancelot Link was a parody of the various spy movies and series that were popular in the mid-sixties through early seventies. The main difference between the two is that Get Smart used humans for all of the characters, while Lancelot Link used trained chimpanzees. Can you imagine a show with Lance Link and Pete Best? We'd have a winna!

I wonder if this is the same German zoo that's currently embroiled in a baby polar bear controversy? (I read the original linked article, and it just says "German zoo.") Knut the baby polar bear was rejected by his mother. (But why? How could anyone reject something this cute?) He's being raised by zookeepers. Animal rights activists object.
