Exeter Zoowatch

Antelopes

Exeter zoo seems to be forever beset by disaster, and today is no exception, as news reaches us of the disappearance of a valuable antelope. With me now to discuss this subject is the zoo�s animal psychologist, Neil Rutter.
Hiya Mark!
So, where do you think this antelope has vanished to?
Actually, Mark, you seem to have gotten the facts a little muddled. Our antelope is fine- it�s our rare Bavarian mountain ants- they�ve disappeared!
What!- All four of them?
No- just two, thank goodness. I dread to think of the impact on the SouthWest�s economy if all four had gone.
Indeed. But what happened?
Well, as you know, Mark. Years ago we used to have just two ants but then we got two new additions.
The first two ant�s children?
Yeah. Well, the youngsters grew up and they fell in love and wanted to marry.
Brother and sister? But that�s incest!
Yeah, insects.
No incest!
They�re ants, Mark. I�m not entirely sure the same morality applies. But you�re right, Mark, we couldn�t really be seen to be condoning that sort of thing. That�s what lead to the problem.
The problem?
Well, since we wouldn�t let them marry, he ants eloped. They must have slipped through the bars of the ants enclosure- then voom! They�re gone!
Now, I understand you�ve got a reward.
Yes, if you provide information leading to their capture, we will give you an �I saw the Exeter Ants� T-shirt. People should be on the lookout for two adolescent ants, one possibly attired in a wedding dress, although by now they may be in disguise.
Finally, are they likely to be dangerous if cornered?
No. They�re ants, Mark.
Oh yeah. Well, thank you very much, Neil Rutter!
Cheers.
