It's December 27th, 🗽 US National Visit the 🐼 Zoo Day! The earlier form of zoo, the menagerie, dates as far back as 1500 BCE in Ancient Egypt. Besides the Pharos, famous kings such as Alexander the Great, Solomon, Nebuchadnezzar, and Moctezuma also kept menageries. Evidence has also been found in China and throughout the ancient Roman Empire.

The first modern zoo was built in 1793 in Paris. Soon other cities all over the world followed. By the 19th century, science and geography had become central pillars of society, and people desired to see exotic animals from all over the planet and study their anatomy and behavior. These early modern zoos were like museums of living animals kept in small display areas.

Today's 2,800 zoos and zoological parks across the planet attempt to function as natural habitats for the species they house. They educate and entertain six million people each year, while also furthering scientific research and the conservation of species and their habitats.

Zoos are necessary because they educate the community, provide an understanding of the interdependence of animals and their habitats, and conduct conservation programs of animals in the wild, including breeding programs designed to reintroduce 🦏 endangered species back into their natural environments. Enjoy your visit today (and every day)! ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

April '16 - we went to the zoo! I had a lovely time seeing lots of animals at Marwell Zoo with Daddy, Kayleigh, Emma and Bradley. We had lunch there and played at the park too before heading to the gift shop to spend my pocket money!
