Zoo keepers have realized that animal print clothing has been causing quite a bit of stir and confusion among the animals in the Chessington World of Adventures Resort, a British zoo. 

Zookeepers have installed the new zero-tolerance policy on animal print, after they reported that animals have tried to communicate with those wearing the clothing, even causing some animals to run away in fear.   The ban has come into effect after the zoo launched its new off-road safari experience, called "ZUFARI: Ride Into Africa!", when staff realized that the animals were "becoming puzzled" when they spotted the visitors wearing the prints. Spokeswoman for ZUFARI, Natalie Dilloway, has issued statements saying "ZUFARI lets visitors get so close to wild species that if someone wears the same pattern to the animal's coat they can become over friendly...If they wear the pattern of its predator, it has the opposite effect and the animals become afraid and run away."

Animal Print Bouncers have been hired to search and locate anyone wearing the clothing, even hats, which go against the rules.  Visitors will be handed grey boiler suits to wear throughout the park so as not to antagonize or excite the animals, or face ejection from the resort. Even tigers have been noted to start salivating when they've noticed visitors wearing zebra print. "We kindly ask guests to refrain from wearing animal print at the park" Dilloway has stated. All African wild dog, cheetah, giraffe, leopard, spotted hyena, striped hyena, tiger and zebra prints are banned.
