2. I’ve seen the “splatter zone” one in Zoo Atlanta. It’s true, too. Stay away!

3. In the background to the left of the unfortunate person heading for the crocs, there is “Family Beer and Liquor”. Nothing says family trip to the zoo like getting the little ones plastered!

4. In the one with the wheelchair and gator the sign in the background for Family Beer and Liquor seems like it would lead to more people animal interaction.

5. My favorite animal warning sign was one about being prepared in bear country – it said to always carry pepper spray and that it helps to wear a bell or some other noise-making device to make the bears aware of your presence. it said that while most of the bears in the area were black bears which are normally rather timid, there were some grizzly bears around which could be far more aggressive. It went on to explain how to tell what kind of bears were in the area by looking at the bear dung you find on the ground – - it said black bear dung was dark in color and has remnants of nuts and berries in it, while grizzly bear dung was lighter in color, had little bells in it and smelled like pepper.

   A local animal shelter was ordered by city officials to put down over 3/4′s of its animals due to lack of funding.

   The only reason it is this way is because too many people are busy spending the counties money on nice cars for themselves instead of supporting the things in the town like schools and county shelters.

   Without funding Animals will die needlessly, because no one cares about them but us. even 1 dollar a week can help buy food and do a number of other things.

7. The first one – about why one should not drink the water — is a paraphrase of a quote attributed to W.C. Fields about why he didn’t drink water. He made reference to a slightly different biological function…..

8. The splatter zone one looks like Homosassa Springs in FL. I’ve been there! Hi Lou the Hippo!

9. I love the zoo one about if you fall in and get eaten it might make the animal sick!
   It’s great they should care more about the animal than the stupid person falling in!

10. I like that in the second sign, it looks like the adult is using the child as a shield.

11. I’d like to take a moment and distance my self from the Spamming Joshua above. That is all. Thank you.

12. Our hometown zoo in Michigan city IN has the best warning/explanation, adolescent monkeys who are going through monkey puberty have a tendency to do embarrassing things and you should keep your distance,eww.

13. When I was traveling with friends in Australia we rented a ‘Wicked’ van to live in and drive up the coast- the van had lots of warning stickers about safe driving but my favorite read: “If you swerve for an animal you’re a DICKHEAD, you will roll 4 times.”

16. LOL Joshua number 2! I was wondering what was going on with the tree-hugger tirade….kinda came out of nowhere with that one. Definitely awkward.

17. Megmurry,
    I thought it was the Homosassa wildlife park too. I’m from there :)

18. Best one I have seen is a mosqitoe warning sign that shows a silouette of a human being carried off by a large mosquito.

19. I have a great one I took at either the Dallas zoo or the Forth Worth zoo in which the sign says “Animals temporarily off display.” Of course, the resident of that particular pen was hanging out in the shade just past the sign!

20. did anyone else notice that behind the “wheel chair flying into the crocodile” sign (which in and of itself is hilarious) there was a sign that read “family beer & liquor”?

22. My favorite sign was in Germany. It was a frog on a red bordered triangle with a car below sliding. Slippery when froggy!! Really!

24. @madelyn-

    “tree-hugger tirade”

    Tree hugger? That person was posting about 3/4 of all the animals in a shelter had to be put down and that makes him a tree hugger???
    It’s wise to think a little before posting some tired, old, right wing garbage.
    I’m surprised you didn’t call him a hippy.
