Here is an example from the point of view of the gorilla:

As I sit staring at the metallic- grey railings that surround my enclosure, I am struck by the sudden realisation that this is now my new home. Crying children, who cling to their parents, prod

and point at me through the smudged glass that looks

into my enclosure. Despondently, I observe the influx of visitors to the zoo; within ten minutes of opening, it is teeming with obnoxious humans.

I sit on a solitary rock, surrounded by decaying foliage: an attempt by the zoo-keepers to

replicate my natural habitat and contemplate what my life used to be like when I lived in Green Africa........
