I am sorry, but is this ad saying that the animals don't get to sleep at night because of visitors? If it is, I am not sure how good this is. Could somebody tell me?

Yeah....both sides I strongly agree with you! This ad also (!) says that these animals keep their mouth open 24 hours..... what shit!!! Its very strange to see that there are so many people behind creation of this ad and not a single man could't thought of these negative points....please guys OPEN your eyes!!!

well. i think its a bit cruel. wouldnt most animals be asleep at night? Unless they are gonna show case nocturnal creatures..then in that case they should show hippos and lions. ??? although both animals are know to be active at night in the wild.

They're not keeping their "mouths open for 24 hours." They're yawning.

No es tan contundente como los otros trabajos de DEL CAMPO, pero esta directo, sencillo, comunicador.

I think the idea is cute and simple.

Problem is that it mays back-fired. I mean, it's obviously a photo was taken during the day, and the lions are yawning. Yawning is only half about being "at night", the other half is about being BORED. Who wants to go to the zoo to see lion yawns? I look at it and I want to go to sleep, not go to the zoo.

I know where this ad comes from though. I appreciate its simplicity.

Boring

Doing great work is hard, criticize others is way easier.
