Petting Zoo Where Robots Replace Animals

Laugh while you can, pretty soon it is going to be humans in the petting zoo. eek!

It used to be when you visited a petting zoo, the coolest thing you could touch was a goat. And while that was fine when you were five, it turns out that goats are actually pretty creepy and not that fun to pet. Thank god then, that there’s a new type of petting zoo that does away with living animals altogether. Experimental architecture and design studio Minimaforms has created a bizarre petting zoo where rabbits, ponies and pigs, have been replaced with robotic "pets."
