Thanks Takesh. Of course the link is the same as previously (http://www.cgco.co.jp/english/environmental_zoo.html)

I saw these in the December issue of JA. The one I like is where they proposed putting all the animals / humans in spaces such that their eye-level was the same - giraffes at the lwoest point, then elephants, rhinos, man etc etc down to mice. Pretty funny. I couldn't find it on the above site but I guess that is because the resolution is low...
