This tells of some things that happened, and were not shown, when
Toby went to the zoo.
While the zoo was being constructed, it was invaded by baby dinosaurs.
And assorted friends. Even Toby turned up before he should have been there.
But even when Toby and his parents had legitimately arrived, the invasion were still around.
They liked to supervise the construction of new enclosures.
Poking a nose in where it was not wanted.
And often Being Silly.
They brought more friends to have ice-creams.
And were a little bit pushy.
Meanwhile, the intended visitors to the zoo did not always behave as required.
Mummy, did
you knock that video screen sideways?
Oh, and Mummy, please put the shoulder strap of your handbag
back onto your shoulder.
And Daddy, I know that Toby doesn't like Information Centres, but please don't slap him across the face!
Mummy, please sit down and eat your meal. And where on earth have Daddy and his meal disappeared to??
I wish that other visitors to the zoo would learn to put their sandals on their correct feet.
And that others would just act naturally, and not smile directly at any camera they see.
Interestingly, zoo landscaping is not always what you would expect.
And sometimes a mysterious image of a camera can appear in a panda enclosure.
Which can equally mysteriously turn into a rock in the blink of an eye.
I can solve the mystery, though, of why this schoolteacher at the Children's Zoo never moved. She was stood in front of the goat information poster even before Toby came to the zoo.
And there she remained.
Unmoving.
She didn't want the children to see that adults make spelling mistakes.
There is no such thing as a female
got.
And finally: What does a zoo hospital keep in their basement? Why, a giant chair and a giant chessboard, of course!
