Did you know there are about 17,000 individual animals in the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium located in Omaha, Nebraska? This is America’s largest zoo, yet this is only one the 142 accredited zoos across America, this may seem like a lot, but America only has a handful of zoos compared to the 414 zoos located in Germany. One of the many positives that zoos and aquaria provide is there revenue and job opportunity. Just in America the annual zoo revenue averages at about $5,136,250,000 and they offer about 142,000 jobs (Statistic Brain Research Institution, 2015). The economic factors of the zoo are huge.…
I feel that a dog park would be benifishial to the community for three simple reasons. First of all the dogs health, second the furniture in the appartment. Finally my third reason disturbing the community. A dog park would be very helpful with keeping any dogs in the community 100% healthier by letting them get the proper amount of exercise, as to retain proper bone structure and muscel formation. Plus it would relieve stress one the owner…
Do you like to go to an sensational place where there is a lot of activities to do with your friends and family then “Wildcat Glades” is the place for you. Wildcat Glades is one of my special places to go to because, there is a wide open area for multiply arrangements such as swimming, fishing, hiking and going to the Audubon Center for information on the wild life in the area. It is a nice place to bring friends family and loved ones. Meanwhile you can go exploring while you are there, I like to go exploring on the huge cliffs, and look in the caves that are around the area. Firstly, one of the many thing I like about Wildcat Glades is the Audubon, because of the art of the wildlife is on the walls and it is inspirational.…
There are many reasons an ever increasing number of people relocate to the greater Houston area. For one, more jobs are created in the area than anywhere in the country, with Houston adding two jobs for everyone lost during the last recession. It is also home to 26 Fortune 500 countries. Houston is known for having a medical center larger than downtown Dallas. The city is known for its thriving cultural and restaurant scene, and is home to six major professional sports teams, including the Astros in major league baseball, the Texans of the NFL, and the Rockets of the NFL.…
The Zookeeper’s Wife was a very emotional film taking place in Warsaw, Poland. The couple featured were in charge of a very prestigious zoo containing many different animals ranging from rabbits, to monkeys, to elephants. After being bombed by Nazis, many of the animals died, escaped, or were seized by Hitler’s lead zoologist, Lutz Heck. With the realization of the enormity of their zoo, and the danger that many faced, they decided to take in one of their Jewish friends, hiding her in a spare room in their house. Eventually, they decided it would be best to house more residents of the ghettos.…
Do you think dog parks are good for your communties? I believe it's a good benefit for the dog and the owner, in such many ways. There's no possible negative outcome for a dog park, even if someone lives next to the park, they either like dogs, have a job most likely wont be home to hear the noises, have a dog of their own, or they wouldn't have move next to a dog park. It's a place where the family and the dog can go have fun, exercise, practice tricks, and socialize. Like i said in the start of this passage , there is no way of a negative outcome.…
Cameron Park Zoos’ history explains how the zoo started, and how it became a main attraction of Waco today. A small group of animals in the 1950s grew into the Cameron Park Zoo Central Texans know today. The small collection of animals was put together to educate visitors, as well as show real, live animals to the public of Central Texas. In 1955, wildlife volunteers displayed mammals and reptiles at the Heart O’Texas Fair. As a result, people started donating money in support of the formation of the zoo.…
A trip to the zoo is always enlightening as no matter how long ago it was we last visited we can always forget something about the animals that live this world with us. Going to the zoo can remind us that we are creatures just like these animals, but also remind us that we are so much more than just animals. Our lives on the surface seem so much more complex than the primates around us, however if we could take the time to observe the lives and the emotions of the animals around us then maybe we can learn who they are, and maybe who we are. The primate that I picked was a mongooses lemur, native to Madagascar.…
Have you ever yearned for a life changing experience that would leave you breathless, but never got the chance to actually obtain one? Many people use school as their way to explore the outside world and acquire life’s perspicacity. The Alamo is a vast, wondrous place for young advanced students, like me, to experience Texas history on another level; therefore, I believe I’m a very superb applicant for this trip. As a child I grew up in the marvelous sun flower state, Kansas, there I attended a very mundane school that never took field trips with educational purposes.…
I did not physically go to a museum for this assignment, but I did do the virtual tour of the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. When I started the virtual tour of the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, the Rotunda room is where I first experienced. Seeing only the giant elephant in this room, I moved onto the Mammal Hall. Seeing all of mammals from around the world was very captivating and informative. Of course I know enough about mammals to know which country some of them conquer and roam, but seeing them all together made me realize how many interesting creatures there are in this beautiful world.…
Americans find exotic pets highly intriguing and nearly 1000 million americans own a pets not native to our country. However bring new species to a area put another in danger. For example on some of the Hawaiian islands you are lucky to hear a bird chirp. Since invasive species continue wiping out animals it poses a big threat on there food chain.…
While in the zoo we were instructed to choose one exhibit in which we would sit down, observe, and take notes mainly focusing on the way people interacted and reacted with the animals. I chose the Reptile Exhibit in particular because I wanted to see the reactions and behaviors of people to reptiles and amphibians in comparison to other mammals such as cats and other mammals as such. I found that the atmosphere in this exhibit was a lot different than others. From the time I walked in, the atmosphere was more calm and the people were slightly more quiet compared to other exhibits. People were still talking but there wasn't as much energy in the room.…
The fall season this year is much hotter than any other years, but the weather did not keep me from packing my lunches and camera for my trip to the Los Angeles Zoo. Since I took all my courage to take this chance and request one day off from work, I had high expectation for this trip. I prepared the lunches on Sunday night so that it would lessen the time for preparation on Monday, the actual date. Departing at 9 o'clock in the morning, it took about one-hour driving and half an hour parking until I get to stand in front of the entrance with the sign saying "LOS ANGELES ZOO. " My friend must have been a little tired of dealing with my craziness over the idea of getting away from the city's loudness, but to me, it is like an adventure.…
They are given live fish in a pond to simulate natural hunting behaviour, rotten tree trunks filled with insects including termites to snack on, leaf litter with hidden food treats like walnuts or frozen fruit like watermelon, which also cools bears in warmer weather. Does it seem like the animals are missing out? As long as animals in zoos are top priority and well cared for, it is possible that quite an enjoyable environment can be created. A world without zoos could mean a world without some of the most precious and valued species we have.…
When we got there all the animals were fully awake and active. We started on the monkey trail and all we saw at every corner were monkeys swinging in their play cages. My favorite part was when we went to the orangutan exhibit. One of the orangutan literally rolled his way from one end of the exhibit to the other end. Earlier this year I saw on the news a baby hippopotamus was born at this zoo.…
