There was a big competition amongst several cities in NC when the zoo was first proposed. Asheboro won out and even had a radio station WZOO named for it

My brother has this VERY $$$expensive digital camera. Does brilliant stuff and has EVERYTHING on it( I'm sure the next version will allow to time travel) but his favorite camera is the Pentaz 1000? I think it is? He loves the more hands on approach.

this is beautiful, i love how you captured a human like expression in this chimp. This has made me want to draw a chimpanzee, with all of this detail. Would you mind if i borrow your picture, and draw this photograph? when i put it on dA, i will link it back to this picture.
