the daily(ish)

First off, sorry for the blur, the Tower of London doesn’t have the greatest indoor lighting…

I told you monkeys should be avoided!  The Tower used to have a menagerie of exotic animals that the public could come and see.  They obviously had no clue how to take care of the animals properly, hence an open room with wild monkeys running around.  They once had a polar bear they tied to a rope to let it fish in the Thames and an ostrich they killed feeding it nails and scraps of metal because that is what they thought the giant bird liked to eat. Zoos have come a long way.
