Zoo Entrance
Welcome to the zoo! The zoo is full of strange and unusual
animals from all over the world. The first "modern" zoo
was founded in Vienna, Austria in 1751. Early zoos were
no better than prison cells for the animals. Often caged by
themselves behind iron bars, they had little room to move about
and interact with other members of their species. Times have
changed, however, and in many zoos, bars have given way to large
natural, wilderness areas. Now animals can live more active,
normal lives and hopefully produce more young. Zoos work very
hard to keep dwindling species of animals alive through
breeding programs. Many zoos also have "adopt an animal" programs
to raise money for the care of different species.
