What is a zoo?

The word zoo is short for zoological garden. Not for amusement park.

Zoo visitors should see trees, flowers, and animals. They should hear waterfalls and animal sounds.

They should not see rides, playgrounds, or market places. They should not hear music or voices blaring over microphones or loud speakers.

A zoo should look and sound like the animals' territory. It should not look like a man-made, commercial venture.

Zoos should make you feel like you are in the animals' territory.
