Never heard of zoos doing road shows.

They do, quite often actually. It’s a great way to educate the public about animals- particularly those who wouldn’t otherwise go to a zoo. When I worked in a preschool we had a reptile keeper come in and do a show for the kids, it really helped dissuade them from being scared of snakes and tarantulas for no reason. At GCC they had Animal Adventures visit a few years ago. They have a mobile zoo program as well

See that’s lame because if you go to the zoo right now the capys aren’t even out cuz it’s too cold so why not spread the love on the road

If they’re being protected from the cold, why bring them out and risk them being exposed to the cold?

But how would they get from the zoo to the school?

I’d assume in truck of sorts, we haven’t yet mastered teleportation

Going from their pen to the truck? Truck to viewing location? What happens if the truck breaks down? Isn’t the notion a little naive-putting these animals at risk for whose pleasure?
