The main purpose of a sign is to be helpful, but that doesn't mean is can't be fun too! We already showed you creative bathroom signs, and now, we've got something even better in store for you - zoo signs.
Below, Bored Panda has put together a list of hilarious and bizarre signs that were spotted at the zoo. Some of them are pretty obvious while others are completely random, yet almost all of them have some kind of story behind them! Keep on scrolling to see what we're talking about and don't forget to vote for your favorites!

I think zoos should adopt an "enter at your own risk" policy. If you (or your kid) are dumb enough to enter an enclosure, you deserve to be removed from the gene pool.
It just happened at our local Zoo here in Naples, FL. A member of the custodial staff (subcontractor) decided he wanted to "pet the kitty". The kitty was a 250 lb. Malayan tiger that promptly latched on to his arm and of course, a cop shot and killed the tiger to get him to release the arm. The Drs. somehow saved the moron's arm, and the Zoo didn't press charges (I think the idiot should've gone to jail for causing the death of an endangered species.), so you think that would've been the end of it. But oh no...wait! There's more! The idiot turned around and sued the Zoo. Google it. The name of this particular Darwin Award nominee is River Rosenquist.

There are always those people that have zero respect for the animals they are visiting ; they tease,taunt, frighten, anger, dangle over the enclosure fence, or throw things at the animals. Those people are the ones that need to see the signs, but they will simply ignore them and do as they please. And they're the very ones that bitterly complain just because someone complained and now THEY ARE being tossed out of the zoo! For the record, I hate zoos as they are presently formatted . I believe the proper way to view said animals is in their habitat. The humans are the ones that should be in a cage; and thus driven about to visit with the various animals at their places of residence.
The Melbourne Zoo in Victoria tries to at least make animals comfortable. And is part of breeding and re stocking programs. The current greatest cause of extinctions is destruction of habitat. Donate to world wild life fund. or similar.

I think they parodise careless behaviour such as this: stroller-o...1d172f.jpg 
Well maybe you know...just...leave them in the wild unless you're making sure the species doesn't go extinct...you know..it's their home...
Important note: DO NOT try to feed a wild kangaroo. They break bones.
I'd think they'd find little kids nice and soft and tender....You're right. It might make them fat.
This brings to mind when my dad got hit by a frozen iguana falling from a tree (long story)
No give food! Monkey! It all depends on how you punctuate this, are they calling us monkeys? Hmm...
The B ears sounds like and interesting animal. Unh ealthy must be a special type of medical condition lol.
I remember going to the zoo as a kid, and seeing a sign saying "Red Panda is currently expecting." I couldn't understand why my Dad laughed when I said "Expecting WHAT?!"
makes sense, lots of dumb people around. This one is fresh, 6th May zoo-zamoC5...70x527.jpg 
I'm afraid mister Charles Darwin will take over now...
