Zoos

Best. Zoo. Ever.

As grown folks, we're always looking for new ways to enjoy childhood pastimes without sacrificing too much dignity. Zoos are cool, but not all of them are built for mature audiences. Now, take the Tama Zoo in the suburbs of Tokyo. They know how to hold it down...with mock orangutan massacres.

The zoo recently organized a staff drill in which a guy in an orangutan costume ran wild before succumbing to fake tranquilizer darts. The game, of course, was not obviously fake enough for the kiddies, who promptly flipped shit and started bawling. They thought it was a genuine orangutan massacre. This picture of the 'orangutan' collapsing is priceless. Score one for the Tama Zoo! Adults can visit for $5.
