Interesting that you say that.
When I was working at Taronga Zoo, in Sydney. The keepers in the Monkey 
house used bananas as part of their alarm system. Every night they put a 
banana beside a window. If in the morning the banana was gone. Then the 
monkeys had gotten off of the inner enclosure.

The big problem that I come up against is that All of these types of 
animations are cyclic and our weather system does show the same behaviour.
