Tell me about the babies that would be in your care.
Would those animals recognise you again, Anna, if they ended up in the zoo afterwards?
And when you'd go and see him, would Klinger recognise you, do you think?
So, Anna, is there a lot of sex at the zoo?
And vocal in what way?
Roaring?
Well, you were interested in learning about...
how much variety there is of sexuality, of female sexuality in the animal kingdom, including among emus.
How does an emu hen show that it's interested in mating?
What sort of way?
What's the behaviour?
And so that buck, that whole Darwinian idea that females are subordinate and need to be dominated in order to copulate, that they're trying to avoid sex.
What sort of things did you observe, Anna, with those animals that are as closely related to us as chimps and monkeys?
Bonobos.
Tell me about those and how they don't quite accord with those earlier 19th century ideas of science.
And where do they come from?
You became the person in charge of the gorilla breeding program in Australasia.
How do you go about matching gorillas?
What's in your mind when you're looking for a mate and how do you find them?
Is there like a Tinder for gorillas?
