Animal Care in Zoos
1The earliest known zoo was the
Park of Intelligence in the province of Hunan. It
was started by a Chinese ruler about 1150 B.C. 2Today, zoo facilities are
limited, so
zookeepers can not keep every animal on display year-round. 3In the winter in colder
climates, most birds must be brought indoors, so zookeepers cannot
always keep each
bird on view for the public. 4Many visitors are surprised to see that some animals
remain outside all year.For exampe, penguins, polar bears, and
timber wolves are happy outdoors
in wintertime. 5On the other hand, some animals are always indoors in northern areas.For example,
reptiles and small
desert animals always have indoor displays. 6Zookeepers must provide indoor
shelters
for large animals such as elephants, no matter how large those
shelters must be! 7Today zoologists
understand much more about animal behavior, and zoos are being
designed that are
similar to the animals’ natural habitats. 8Viewers can closely observe
animals at animal
parks where animals roam free. 9Zoo kitchens keep a wide variety of foods ,and these are used
to prepare meals that meet each animal’s nutritional needs. 10Zoos contribute to
wildlife conservation,and they nurture species that are in danger
of becoming extinct.
