Tehran Zoo Animals Quietly Judge Human Evacuation Behavior

As humans flee in every direction, the animals at Tehran Zoo have begun observing evacuation behavior with a mixture of pity and smug indifference. �They hoard fuel, scream into phones, and cry about traffic,� said one macaque via zookeeper translation. �Meanwhile, we haven�t moved in three days�and we�re thriving.� The hippos reportedly hosted a tea ceremony in the moat, while the parrots began mimicking the phrase �Run, you fools!� in three languages. A lion named Cyrus appeared deeply unimpressed by human panic: �What�s the rush? The end comes for us all. Also, I�m out of chicken.� Staff at the zoo say the animals have been oddly calm. �We think they�re mocking us,� said one caretaker. �The llamas formed a conga line when the air raid siren went off.� Animal rights activists praised the zoo�s newfound reputation as Tehran�s most emotionally stable refuge. �Honestly,� said one evacuee, �I came for shelter and stayed for the emotional growth.� SOURCE: http://bohiney.com
