"Welcome ladies, gentlemen, and variations across the galaxy! I invite all of you to The Vega-Star Zoo! The only Earth zoo beyond Earth's solar system! Witness the wonders of life on Earth!" yells a being standing in front of a swirling wormhole portal at an alien bazaar, with a new poster beside it advertizing the same. Initially, you assume it could be a human, but it's impossible; humans aren't advanced enough to be this far from their planet, surely. "It's free to visit, with a donation box at the entrance! Please keep your hands and tendrils away from the animals, and please do not feed them!" A few aliens of different species seem interested, walking, slithering, and hopping into the portal. At first, you may have scoffed; this wouldn't be the first time someone claimed to have Earth creatures - the last time you fell for a scam like that, you paid twenty credits to see a meep painted to look like a panda. However, then you realize it's free? Hmm... maybe this is real, after all?

(Lore-wise, this zoo is run by aliens who take human disguises. Aliens and humans alike can visit the zoo and see the animals, but all aliens are required to wear human disguises, since it's technically... illegal for alien races to interact with Earth. So, they pretend that the humans there are other aliens, and that the 'disguises' are just part of some 'immersive roleplay' for the 'true human experience'.)
