I recently heard about this amazing program that some Zoos have begun...basically they're selling pieces of art done by their fur and feather-lined inhabitants. To learn more, you can hear the NPR sound-byte here and visit the Houston Zoo's website here.
Isn't this incredible? For a mere $250, you can buy a masterpiece done by a crazed-ape finger painter. My personal favorite is Rocky the Cougar. Per the website, Rocky really gets into it by getting "his whole body into the piece by rolling on it." I would pay large sums of money to see this.
I'm going to salute Rocky and his pals with one of my favorite songs from the band Animal Collective, "Reverend Green".
May the beret cling ever-so-tightly to their furry (or feathery) heads,
