Mom Questions Zoo’s Inability to Control Animal Behavior in Front of Her Child

In an amusing turn of events, a mom took to a parenting forum to express her confusion over a zoo’s apparent lack of control over its animals’ more intimate activities. The post is humorously titled, “Should I complain to the zoo about monkeys getting it on?”

The forum, a bit like the UK’s version of Babycenter, provides a space for parents to share their quirky experiences. This particular mom, who we’ll call Sarah, is frustrated by the fact that despite her efforts to teach her son about privacy when it comes to personal matters, a visit to the zoo sent all her lessons flying out the window. “I’ve spent years telling my son that he can’t just play with his willy in public,” she lamented. “And then we walk in, and there are monkeys practically flaunting their behavior right in front of him! Shouldn’t there be a warning sign or something?”

For those unacquainted with the jargon of parenting forums, “AIBU” means “Am I being unreasonable?” And yes, “DS2” stands for “dear son 2.” Because who has time to type that out?

Sarah described the scene: “Half the male primates were rubbing themselves against tree branches, and one was right by the glass, having a good old tug.” How do you explain that to a child? Honestly, I’m not sure. When I witnessed bats engaging in some rather passionate behavior at a science museum, I opted for a quick diversion and told my kids that the bats needed some privacy.

Things didn’t improve once they entered the reptile house, where Sarah was greeted by two tortoises, um, engaged in their own “activities.” Let’s just say the sounds they make are not exactly pleasant.

Interestingly, this isn’t an isolated incident; many parents have expressed concern over animal behavior at zoos. While some might prefer a cautionary sign like “WARNING: ANIMALS MAY ENGAGE IN SEXUAL ACTIVITY,” I personally find it easier to explain animal behavior than to clarify a sign like that.

It’s possible Sarah was just looking for a chuckle from fellow forum users, and if that’s the case, we’re all for it.

To sum it up, Sarah’s zoo trip turned into a mix of shock and humor, showcasing the unexpected realities of parenting in a world where animals are, well, just being animals.
