However, Gerald begins to speculate about what fascinating imagined creatures he would bring to the zoo if he ran it. Zookeeper is not only one who listening,there is also beautiful girl Ann, this character is not in the book. Gerald lists animals he would like to capture, include a ten-footed lion, an elephant-cat, a Flustard (who eats only mustard and custard), a goat-dog-squirrel hybrid called the Joat, a family of deer with their antlers knotted together, a cave-dweller called the Natch, and finally the world's largest bird, a Fizza-ma-Wizza-ma-Dill.
