GENERAL INFO:
-------------
    The series can be viewed by any '.GIF' viewer.  However,
accurate display of the work requires a computer system that has
the ability to display 256 colour images at a resolution of 640
by 480.
    The images may be freely distributed but are copyrighted to
Ken Stange, who sincerely requests that they not be modified.

    The creatures in this zoo owe their existence to the
magical generative powers of fractal iterations.  What they
grew up to be can only be blamed on their adoptive parent
and his odd sense of humour.
