Given my love of the zoo, I really enjoyed reading these essays about the behind-the-scenes happenings at the Indianapolis and St. Louis Zoos. Bonner shares some scary tales of children falling into exhibits and animals escaping from exhibits. He shares stories that show the love that keepers have for their animals and that describe the complexity of caring for such a variety of animals. He also talks about the broader role that zoos play in breeding endangered species and engaging in conservation efforts.

I recommend this book for anyone interested in animal welfare and conservation.… (més)
