18 Hilarious and Bizarre Signs Spotted At The Zoo

We do always love a good funny sign, and these eighteen signs spotted at various zoos across the world definitely fit into that helpful (and not so helpful) category.

Some of these signs are a bit obvious (don't stick your fingers into a deadly animal's cage, for instance), but others are straight up random and hilarious. Click through the images to see them all, and next time you go visit a zoo, don't say I didn't warn you.

Don't Judge a Penguin by Its Scent

Well that explains it! As an aside, have you ever visited a flamingo exhibit? Good lawd up in heaven, those pink buggers STINK to high heaven! You can smell them from the parking lot! I wonder if it's because they eat fish, or if it's just bad hygiene (I'm kidding). Either way, gross.

Why Would Anyone Punch a Llama?

Having known one or two llamas in my life, I can confirm that they are a**holes and you will most likely need to be reminded not to punch them right in the kisser.

Like a Roller Coaster, Except You End Up in a Crocodile's Mouth

I Appreciate the Honesty

We wouldn't want fish with a nasty, unhealthy habit. That would be bad.

Lion Riding Closed Today

Oh darn, and here I was hoping to go for a nice leisurely lion ride today.
