The Gardens Revamped
« on: February 12, 2011, 10:55:57 AM »
Just bear with me here.

In The Answer (book 53) Jake said that the Gardens had mostly survived the destruction of the town since it was outside the radius of annihilation.

Well I started thinking(I know, a dangerous habit)what if they remade the Gardens with new alien animals.

And in The Reaction (book 12) Ax mentions that the beast Visser 3 morphs is called a Lebtin Javelin Fish, and that he has always wanted to see one in a zoo.

So it is quite possible that many other alien races have alien species in their zoos, and we know for sure that the Skrit Na do...So what are your thoughts on this?

I think it couldn't hurt. There'd be the same issues as normal zoos of course.

For example. the Polar bear at the Roger Williams Park Zoo in Rhode Island actually died in the summer. Because apparently it didn't occur to the zoo staff that an arctic animal would have trouble in temperatures of over twenty degrees ferenheit.

Plus, even though Visser Three didn't seem to have any issues in any of his alien morphs, we don't know what the long term effects of our planet's unique conditions would be to a non-indigenous extraterrestrial species.

The zoo would have to have some major modifications done to accomodate for the habitat requirements, feeding arrangements and safety standards for each species.

Oh my gosh I never thought of that. I could totally envision them doing that. It would take a few years, though, probably a few decades, to go to space, chart outer space planets, and find and acquire these animals and then ship them back to Earth. Or who knows, maybe the Andalites will supply them with a few creatures, maybe even from their own home planet, like hoobers or djabalas or the mardrut.
