    the columbus zoo is by far the best ive been to

    that kangaroo picture up there? you get to walk through the enclosure. there are kangaroos just laying about in the sun right next to you

    it has some of the best trail systems around to see everything and there are multiple viewing areas for every animal

    and that leopard's coating is so fucking gorgeous in real life

    The Taronga Zoo in Sydney has enclosures like that (although with Wallabys, not Kangaroos). My wife got menaced by an Emu while we were there, it was awesome (to me).

    me and the family went to the Columbus Zoo last friday and they have red pandas there and i thought of yoooooouuuuuu

    Yay, did you take pictures?

    i have some from the last time we went, but this time they didnt bring their furry red asses out of the highest tree in the enclosure so i could take pictures

    i did get some great pictures of the new baby elephant, some baby monkies, a cool stingray, and a big ol gorilla

    Well that's cool. Here's a pic I found from the Colombus Zoo:

    here's Beco, the baby elephant playing with his big blue ball that he chased all over his enclosure

    When I was scrolling down and the ground was cut off in this picture it looked like a painting

    Aww, some of these animals are ridiculously cute. We went to a scary alligator farm thing recently. :( It was like that scene from A Goofy Movie when they go to that possum tourist place. Except, there were gators and caged lambs and peacocks.

    This sounds like a very depressing show. Do they actually follow the people through treatment?

    On Obsessed they follow them through a 12 week treatment process with a psychologist, some people get better and some quit halfway through.

    On Hoarders they show the house and then come in with a crew of people capable of cleaning it in two days and try to help them.

    But the thread is about pandas now I guess lol

    12 weeks doesn't seem like long enough to deal with some of this. Do they give them medication as well? It seems like many of the obsessed people could be helped with anti-anxiety medication in addition to therapy.

    That....sucks hard.

    I have only a teeny tiny book problem, in that I have a hard time staying awake while reading, no matter how much sleep I get.

    I know someone who has in the past been inwardly obsessive about walking. She feels that there's this "path" that a person lays out behind them when they walk, and she doesn't like it when she, or maybe everyone, crosses paths. On occasion, she used to retrace her path back around someone to untangle it.

    is that they can smell the venom

    so when one ant bites something

    all the other ants are like hello there's something to bite

    My wife and I got mugged by emus at the Phillip Island wildlife park, while some big red kangaroos laid around and watched. We had to throw our bag of food at them and run away.

    It is a pretty awesome place though, they have enclosures like Cracked mentions and little wallabies just wandering about everywhere:

    Anyways, if any of you guys are ever cruising up the Oregon coast, there's a cool place right below Bandon. It's basically giant petting zoo combined with a small zoo. The grounds you walk around on to view the various exhibits aren't paths, but wide swaths of open ground where various sheep, goats, peacocks, deer, and stuff are walking about. And so all around this path are the bigger animals, and a lot of predators. Big cats and bears and such. And big game like elk and buffalo. They do a lot of breeding for other zoos, like just last year they had a snow leopard baby. Best part of this place? Every day they have a few select baby animals they bring out for show. There's a hand-raised possum, two albino ferrets, a couple skunks ... not interesting enough for you? Well when they have them, they also bring out the more exotic babies and smaller more manageable animals. Besides being able to pet and fully interact with all the above, me and my fiancee also got to play around with a young bobcat (Eurasian), and I got to bottle feed a baby black panther. Fuck yeah.

    It was like 8 or 10 weeks into the treatment. The therapist seemed really confident she wouldn't get he throat sliced open, she didn't even blink. Exposure therapy is about getting them to the point where they would snap and letting it pass so the people can realize that nothing bad is going to happen.

    One time one of the therapists (think it was like the 1st or 2nd episode) was at this gay guys house who is a clean freak and was like can I use the bathroom? He said yeah its right in there and she comes out and goes "oh by the way I just put a bloody tampon in the garbage in there I didn't feel like flushing it". The guys face got beet red and he got all pissed off. So he goes in there to start cleaning and shit and she was like "oh I used that towel to clean my hands, I want you to wipe your face with it". So he did.
