<p><b>New page</b></p><div>At present, the nearest thing [[Ankh-Morpork]] has to a City Zoo, although as it is situated in the [[Patrician's Palace]], access is by invitation only. The [[Unseen University|University]] [[Librarian]] is reputed to hop over the wall and spend the odd night here, but what he does is a mystery as we are specifically told there are no orangs here of either sex. <br />
<br />
This is most probably a hangover from previous Patricians, some of whom had inventive variations on a theme of the idea of tearing a convicted felon to death by chaining a large wild animal to each limb and setting them off in four mutually opposed directions. Logically, they needed somewhere to store the creatures in between dismembering engagements. One previous Patrician of a patient disposition used four giant tortoises for this job, and must have kept them securely lest they end up as four king-sized servings of turtle soup and a [[Dibbler]] cart-load of tortoiseshell knick-knacks, a dollar each, no questions asked, squire. On Roundworld, giant tortoises are natives of Africa and certain Pacific islands. Following the general principle that [[Ankh-Morpork]] is in a pretty much "European" part of the Disc, it would seem that such long-lived creatures will not be native, may have been imported as curios or gifts, and as the species is known for its longevity, could well be up to two hundred years old. <br />
<br />
The Patrician still maintains, possibly only out of tradition, snake and scorpion pits. Of necessity, these will need a breeding programme to replace and replenish and improve upon stock. Possibly the Menagerie includes herpetology and arachnia houses where this work might be carried out, always assuming Vetinari does not subcontract this work to the [[Assassins' Guild]], who may be expected to have a vigorous Natural History department of their own at the Guild School. (If only as another ongoing informal test for overconfident students).<br />
<br />
There is a reference somewhere to [[Carrot]] having taken [[Angua]] here on a date, although Carrot noted that in Angua's presence, the animals either hid at the back of the cage or were un-naturally subdued.<br />
<br />
We learn in {{SN}} that [[Quirm]] has a fully-fledged [[Quirm Zoo|City Zoo]], which makes it one step ahead of [[Ankh-Morpork]] in this respect. [[Sam Vimes]] takes [[Young Sam]] there to see the elephants and gain raw material for his new, engrossing, albeit inexpensive, hobby. <br />
<br />
The Palace Menagerie is expanded upon in [[Book:The World of Poo]], as a strategic location where [[Grand-Mama]] one day takes [[Geoffrey]] as a treat. <br />
<br />
==Named Staff:==<br />
<br />
* Mr [[Pontoon]], the Head Keeper.<br />
* Young [[Gus]], the apprentice keeper.<br />
* The [[Re-Director]].<br />
<br />
==Named Animals on the Menagerie inventory==<br />
<br />
* the [[Hermit Elephant]] of [[Howondaland]].<br />
* the [[Swimming Shrew]] from [[Llamedos]].<br />
* the [[Acrobatic Meerkat]] from Howondaland.<br />
* the [[:Category:Camels|Counting Camel]], from [[Klatch]].<br />
* the Ring-Maned Lion.<br />
* the Reciprocating Ocelot.<br />
* the Rotating Nogo. <br />
* the [[Coat-Hanger Elk]] from [[NoThingfjord]].<br />
* the [[Chameleon Alligator]] from [[Genua]].<br />
* the [[Bouncing Kangaroo]] from [[Fourecks]].<br />
* the [[Bashful Panda]] from [[Agatean Empire|Agatea]].<br />
* the [[Woolly Goat]] from the [[Trollbone Mountains]]. <br />
<br />
There ''may'' also be half a dozen concubines from [[Ymitury]]. <br />
<br />
This is not an exhaustive list and represents only those Discworld animal species quoted or described in [[Book: The World of Poo]] as resident at the Menagerie. However, the observant reader will have noticed that this STILL doesn't offer any logical reason for the [[Librarian]] to make nocturnal visits to the Menagerie at periodic intervals - there is not a single simian of any sort on this list. <br />
<br />
Therre are, apparently, "real-world" animals in the Menagerie collection. (ie, those also known on [[Roundworld]]). Lions are specifically mentioned. Their dung is especially valuable to Sir [[Harry King]]. <br />
<br />
Mr Pontoon is also clear on the distinction between "real" world fauna and the "heraldics". For e.g., he only deals with the former and the latter is the province of the [[College of Heralds]]. <br />
