He was at the age where...
his father could start to see him as a threat.
And he knew that when his father was looking at him, he would just go around the corner.
And then he came from a family of about the same size of the family that he moved into with youngsters.
So he was our pick.
And the zoo agreed to send him to us, which is a big undertaking.
We don't buy animals anymore anymore.
They give you the animals under the understanding that it will receive good welfare and good care and you have the expertise to look after that species and you have the facilities.
And then the only thing the receiving zoo pays for is the transport of the animals and all the paperwork that has to be done.
There's lots of permitting.
And sending a keeper familiar with the animal to Australia to help it settle in so it's got a familiar face.
There's no evidence that they do.
And we base that on the fact that humans didn't know
really, until fairly recently in our history.
There was in Turkey, in Katalhoyuk, in some caves, there are some drawings of a couple embracing and on the opposite wall of a female with a baby, which is some hint.
I think that those drawings are like 6,000 years old or something.
But the time between sex and conception is so long that it is very hard to draw a direct correlation.
People knew it had something to do with it, but how it was done wasn't known until we got the microscope and they could actually see what happens with an egg and a sperm.
So that was a very long time after people started to procreate.
So the drive, in my opinion, the drive is sexual gratification.
