[QUOTE="Good Cents, post: 4829545, member: 100720"]The idea is to appeal to kids AND adults. Sports are taste specific, and lots of people aren't into sports at all, and there are a limited number to depict. But everyone - kids and adults alike - enjoy the Zoo. It's both interesting and non-controversial. It's pleasant and neutral at the same time. No competition, no "my historic sports star is better than your historic sports star." They say visits with tamed animals reduce stress. It's probably because animals are not political, accept us as we are, and we never have to second guess them. Animals just want to live and let live. Even carnivores are not out to kill other living things which they don't need for sustenance, as long as it is not threatening them in some way. Animals are simple. They don't have pretenses. Their love is real. And their pain is raw. They don't act nice and then stab you in the back. It doesn't matter to them what you look like, what you do for a living, or any of the other myriad things that humans use to judge us. It's no wonder they reduce stress! And can't we all use a little stress reducing these days, even if only on our coinage? And let's keep to the animal theme with an Eagle on the Reverse. The eagle feeding her young, or sheltering her young ones in some way. A nurturing eagle depiction.[/QUOTE]
