A Few Things Zoo Animals Need
1. A clean, natural escapeproof habitat with an area of security to which the animal can
retreat when under stress.
2. A suitable mate or mates.
3. A safe and nutritious diet considered interesting by the animal and approved by the
veterinarian.
4. As much freedom from boredom as possible; that is, plenty of "furniture" (trees, plants,
pools) and perhaps a neighbor or two.
