Zoos

The Bronx Zoo receives fresh blood daily in order to feed the Vampire Bats. They have one of the largest exhibits of bats on display in captivity. Though from recent reports, this practice may be stopped soon, as the "World of Darkness", which housed all the Bats, is being closed, along with several other exhibits. The Zoo is taking this action "in response" to the economy. The Bronx Zoo had over 2 million visitors last year. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

The area of Bronx Zoo is 1,072,416.951936 square meters.

Zoos in various countries have requirements for animal cages sizes. Minimum is usually around four times the animal's size, but some animals need more room than others to forage or wander about.

yes it is. to keep an animal outta its natural habbit is not natural. think about it. would u like to be kept in an area were everything was regulated by someone else.... what a minute i guess ppl are kinda like that with our rules and regulations so maybe it isn't so wrong maybe everyone and every animal that is caught by "the man" has to.

The largest Zoo will depend on what you are judging, the actual area the zoo covers, the number of animals on site, or the number of guests per day/year. The Berlin Zoologicial Garden, is the largest if you are counting animals as the deciding factor. They have 14,000 animals from 1,500 different species, in only 86 acres. It was the first Zoo to open in Germany, opening in 1844. For more details about this zoo see the web site listed below.

Exactly the same as pet/field animal veterinarians. Do operations, scans, blood tests, check ups, all that kind of stuff. The only differences are they do it on animals that live in zoos, not peoples animals, and they also use tranquiliser darts to get the animal to sleep for operations.

A zookeeper is the person that looks after animals at a zoo. The average salary for a zookeeper in the United States is $35,000 per year.

No. In fact, most animals living in a zoo live longer than animals in the wild. That's because There aren't any predators, there's plenty of food, etc.

Zoo Pals were not doing very well with the sales at stores. Zoo Pals were officialy taken away from Hefty around 2006 for this reason.

As dangerous as working with any wild animal

If by 'right' you mean nutritional and healthful foods, then obviously yes.

If, however, you mean the foods the animals would eat in their natural habitat, then often the answer is no. For one thing, not all food plants grow in all parts of the world; and few zoo-goers would want carnivorous animals (such as big cats and bears) to chase down live prey for their meals.

Some famous zookeepers include Jack Hanna, Marlin Perkins, and Julian Huxley. Others include Gerald Durrell, Peter Scott, and James Fisher.

Yes, some endangered animals have been saved by staying in a zoo and being bred so the population is larger. Also, they need to be helped if they have serious injuries they can be helped and eventually put back into the wild. This can also help them from being attacked or shot by hunters.

Zoo animals all have different space needs. It is always best to give the animal the biggest enclosure possible.

Some people would argue that keeping animals in zoos and circuses to entertain humans is selfish and inhumane because the animals do not have freedom. Another reason, in the context of a circus, is the training the animals have to go through.
