Zoos

The first public zoo was Vienna Zoo in Austria.

There are several zoos in the world that are worth the trip. The Berlin Zoo in Berlin ranks among the largest in the world. The Bronx Zoo in New York City has over 4,000 animals, and the Singapore Zoo in Singapore was the first to introduce the "open zoo" concept.

The Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley has the Red Panda.

Additional Info: The San Diego Zoo has four adult Giant Pandas one that is about 2 years old, and a male baby or cub that is about six months old. He has just been brought out to be introduced. The mother and the cub both have full time access to a bedroom area, and the public has been notified that they might not get a glimpse of them during their adjustment period. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

All animals in zoos die eventually. There is no repatriation program worth mentioning.

The Henry Doorly Zoo currently consists of 130 acres (or 53 hectoacres).

sometimes it maters if the animals went crazy or not on the zookeeper.

Most zoos have only 1 veterinarian at a time and then have consultants to help them. Some however hire more such as the Denver Zoo which currently has 3 vets on their staff with assistants and vet techs to help them.

Zoos are defiantly a need to have in the future to help animals that are becoming extinct

Because in the wild, there is a possibility that the lion won't find/catch food sometimes, while in a zoo, they get fed on a regular basis, there won't be a time when they have to miss a meal. Plus, lions get hunted in the wild, but nobody's just going to bring a gun to the zoo and shoot a lion.

Zoos employ animal doctors (veterinarians ), nutritionists, and other professionals to give the best care possible to their animals. Most zoos do this, in an attempt to try, and protect their animals, and keep them as healthy as possible. The average zoo does not set out to hurt, or neglect their animals. Some small, and unregulated zoos, (private collections, or petting zoos), may not be as concerned for the animal's welfare as they should be. Anytime, there is a question in a vistors mind, as to the conditions of an animal, or it's living quarters, it needs to be reported discreetly, but quickly, to the proper authorities. But on average, most zoos, try to keep all their animals healthy and happy.

why were zoo's built

Billions of people around the world like zoos. Zoos are one of the most popular tourist attractions around the world.

Yes, however, you must comply with all laws and regulations. It would take special zoning and a great deal money to own and run a zoo. Permits are required for certain animals, particularly if they are dangerous.

However long the zoo is open for. That was hard.

The Detroit Zoo is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Woodward Avenue and 10 Mile Road (I-696) in Royal Oak.

There is also the Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek, the Potter Park Zoo in Lansing, and the John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids. Additional Info: Also listed is the Garlyn Zoo in Naubinway MI, Oakland Zoo in Oakland County, and Belle Isle Zoo and Aquarium in Royal Oak. See the website for more info, regarding other attrations of a similar nature.

Yes ,they wont get hunted. If they get hurt or sick a person would cure them.And there are no pertadors aronud.

Animals are equally precious and should equally share God's earth as humans instead of being caged like they are in jail. How would feel if you were locked in a cage for the rest of your life? How would you feel if you were always on exhibition? Animals should not be not be caged. They should be in the wilderness with their families. I therefore strongly believe that animals are better off in the wild.

Firstly, animals should live in their natural habitat and be allowed to roam freely because animals' natural instincts will vanish if they are caged in zoos. Also, some animals are forced to live in climates that they are not accustomed to and this is cruel. For example, the elephant is accustomed to live in tropical climates but is forced to live in zoos in cold countries like Canada.

Additionally, animals are physically and mentally healthier in the wild than in zoos. They are able to have more exercise as they can run around and hunt in larger land spaces in the wilderness. Zoos do not have such large spaces. Caged animals do not know what it is to naturally hunt their food or to explore their environment and to select a mate. This I am sure can be mentally depressing for animals. Also not being able to climb, hunt and run will make the animals obese. In the wild animals are not able to eat their natural foods instead of artificial foods given in some zoos. And these unnatural foods will make the animals sick.

Even though animals can be healthier in the wilderness you might be concerned that animals are being hunted and killed for pleasure or for selling animal parts such ivory from elephants. There is no need to worry. In some countries such as the United States of America, Africa and Canada there are laws against hunting certain types of animal, especially those that are endangered such as elephants, the white tiger and Rhinoceros.

Allowing animals to be free is better for them because they will be allowed to see the beauty of the world just like humans. They should be allowed to live natural healthy lives in the wild. Remember we can share this world with animals without harming and being cruel to them. I positively believe that animals should not be kept in zoos.

It depends upon the zoo.

Animals will normally be chosen that are rare in the region where they are displayed. So in European and North American zoos, you might have large African species such as the elephant, rhinoceros, and hippo. Or big cats from Africa and Asia, such as the lion, tiger, cheetah, leopard, and panther. Or antelopes, giraffes, gazelles, mountain goats, llamas, and alpacas. Or apes such as chimps, gorillas, orangutans, monkeys, and lemurs. Also hyenas, wolves, and bears.

All of these are mammals.

It depends on where in the world. In America, it's very possible if zoo animals come into contact with bats, or if animals introduced to them already have the disease. Also, just recently in the UK, a Barbary macaque was found to have rabies, and it escaped. Sadly it had to be shot dead before it got lost.

Yes, but not from the visitors. Most zoos have strict policies concerning the visitors tossing anything, including food to the animals. Some zoos have food they will allow you to feed to certain animals. As in feeding the birds seed they supply, or Elephants peanuts you get there. But most animals are on diets that are adapted to help each species stay healthy. Usually the keeper measures the food, supplements and vitamins according to the animals levels of activities, their breeding status, gender, and any immediate plans for the animals, while taking into account other factors such as the season, and the weather. Plus the keepers track the food the animals do consume to help determine their health. That would be flawed information if the visitors were feeding the animal. Also many foods that humans eat can be toxic to animals, so they must restrict outside sources of food. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

To earn stars you have to care for your animals. The better their feeling the more stars their you get. To get extra stars try to get awards. Different awards give you different amount of stars. You can also do challenges. If you do well you can also get stars.

Speaking for myself, I like going to the zoo, and I like bringing my young friends to the zoo. It exposes them to the natural world beyond what can be found in their local city park, and helps to stimulate their interest and concern for wild things. Yes, many zoo animals have been taken from the wild, but any responsible zoo is more concerned for the welfare of the animals than for getting "trophies" for their collections. These days, most wild-caught animals you see in zoos are long-lived individuals captured before zookeepers began adopting a more conservation-minded approach, or animals rescued from illegal wild-animal trade, or animals captured as part of a scientifically managed conservation program. On balance, I believe that modern zoos managed by responsible people are doing far more good than harm. Others may disagree, and they have every right to disagree respectfully and constructively.
