LONDON (AFP) - London Zoo unveiled a new exhibition -- eight humans prowling around wearing little more than fig leaves to cover their modesty.



The "Human Zoo" is intended to show the basic nature of human beings as they frolick throughout the August bank holiday weekend.

"We have set up this exhibit to highlight the spread of man as a plague species and to communicate the importance of man's place in the planet's ecosystem," London Zoo said.

Brendan Carr, 25, from Aylesbury, southern England, wrote a poem in his bid to get on the mountain.

"I'm funky like a monkey and as cool as a cat, talk more than a parrot, up all night like a bat," it went.

"I got a laugh like a hyena but get the hump like a camel, so cover me in fig leaves as I'm the ultimate mammal."

1. Reminds me of Ota Benga

who, in the early 1900's was on display in the monkey house of a zoo.

He was from africa, of course, because "they" were animals, as opposed to "us" people. Somehow this exhibit has a better vibe than that one did.

4. Reminds me of the George Saunders story "Pastoralia"

It's about two people who are living in the Cave Man exhibit at some zoo/amusement park.
