Apparently your [furry creature slippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/famichiki) are now acceptable in venues other than your home -- these Zoo of Sao Paulo ads suggest that you can take your round-the-clock interest in the animal kingdom out out on the prowl during the park's nocturnal hours of operation.

The SpicyComm advertising agency of Brazil has done a clever job of demonstrating the menagerie's evening schedule. The two prints picture a person wearing pajama bottoms and [safari animal moccasins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle-fur), with grass below his feet, and darkness all around. It's as if a lion or leopard enthusiast has climbed right out of bed and headed straight for the park. Looking at the Zoo of Sao Paulo ads, I still can't help but think that a pair of [running shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-wild-campaign) would be the ideal footwear when surrounded in stalking predators in the night.
