Quirky and silly? Yes.

Educational and informative? Yep, that too.

These TV spots for Roger Williams Park Zoo paired fascinating creatures with regular humans, and placed them in odd situations in an unusual environment.

Beside simply being a lot of fun (to produce and to watch), these spots effectively reminded people that they’re very lucky to have such a fabulous and diverse gem of a zoo right here in Providence. And for the record, this was done long before the LiMu Emu was even born.
