The Zoo is a complicated organization, full of personali ties and histories, and scarcely an animal or bird is there that has not its own story. I have tried to tell some of these stories and to show in a small way Zoo things that are not ordinarily seen by Visitors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Animals and the Camera As sport, it is one of the most fasci nating, and I have learned more of the habits and characteristics of wild animals with my camera than gun-shooting could ever have taught me. For years I was a constant, I might almost say daily, visitor to the Zoological Society's Gardens. Every addition to the wonderful collection I studied for days, and sometimes weeks, before capturing it successfully with my camera.

Download or read book Portraits at the Zoo Classic Reprint written by Ellen Velvin and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portraits at the Zoo The Cheetah, or hunting leopard, is the most interesting of all the cat tribe. It is found in Arabia, Mesopotamia, Syria, and in West and Southern India; also in Abyssinia, Senegal, and South Africa. The reason that the Cheetah is called the hunting leopard is because 800 years before the Christian Era it was used in the hunting field in India, exactly as it is still used there in the present day. In the British Museum, in some of the Assyrian carvings, you will see a Cheetah catching and killing an antelope. There is another carved stone in the Louvre, in Paris, which also shows that the Cheetah must have been known to the Greeks and Romans. In the East, the hunting qualities of this wild animal were very soon discovered, and the natives trained it carefully to catch antelopes, gazelles, nilgai, deer, and other wild animals. It was found, however, that the Cheetahs must be caught full grown and wild, in order to train them to make good hunters; all efforts to train Cheetah cubs proved useless. This was supposed to be because they had not seen their parents capture and kill their prey. But in Africa the Cheetah is only valued for its skin. The great tribal chiefs, African Kings, and other grand personages, dress themselves up in these skins, and consider themselves very fine indeed. The Cheetah is a tall, slender, graceful creature, with long legs, small loins, a broad chest, and a long tail.

Download or read book Out of the Wild written by and published by Glitterati. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographer Boza Ivanovic artfully transforms the traditional animal-visitor dynamic in Out of the Wild. These animals are at once as terrifying as they are hauntingly beautiful. - Special interest for environmentalists, conservationists, animal enthusiasts, and photography fans; Ivanovic has worked for numerous publications, such as National Geographic. Zoos work to preserve nature, protecting animals from the encroaching human presence in their native environments. Cages and glass - these barriers exist to protect both the animals and the visitors. Photographer Boza Ivanovic, however, artfully transforms this dynamic in his latest book, Out of the Wild: Zoo Portraits. His photographs pull viewers past protective boundaries, reinstating a sensation of awe and even fear. Here, zoo animals appear as they do in nature - without the perceived safety of barriers. As a result of his careful presentation, Ivanovic inspires a tension in his viewers. These animals are at once as terrifying as they are hauntingly beautiful. They emerge from the darkness or swoop gracefully toward the lens. Ivanovic's carefully crafted images restore the majesty of these creatures, revealing that there is still a wild spirit in these animals' hearts - whether in the wild or out.

Download or read book Wild About Books written by Judy Sierra and published by Knopf Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2012-07-25 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OVER HALF A MILLION COPIES SOLD! Winner of the E.B. White Read Aloud Award It started the summer of 2002, when the Springfield librarian, Molly McGrew, by mistake drove her bookmobile into the zoo. In this rollicking rhymed story, Molly introduces birds and beasts to this new something called reading. She finds the perfect book for every animal—tall books for giraffes, tiny ones for crickets. “She even found waterproof books for the otter, who never went swimming without Harry Potter.” In no time at all, Molly has them “forsaking their niches, their nests, and their nooks,” going “wild, simply wild, about wonderful books.” Judy Sierra’s funny animal tale coupled with Marc Brown’s lush, fanciful paintings will have the same effect on young Homo sapiens. Altogether, it’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys!

Download or read book Increasing Legal Rights for Zoo Animals written by Jesse Donahue and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-04-12 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are on the precipice of momentous legal changes for animals that may soon give some of them rights of personhood and citizenship. Companion animals in particular are gaining rights to public representation in government, access to housing, inheritance, and increased protection through the criminal justice system. Nonhuman primates used as research subjects are also gaining limited rights of personhood in some countries. This book examines how zoo animals could benefit from that revolution as well. Reviewing zoo law and politics in the United States, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia, scholars and zoo directors grapple with how the current law in those regions of the world impacts zoo animals and how it could be changed to serve them better. They discuss the ways in which zoo animals could benefit from some re-worked companion animal law in the United States; the challenges of reintroductions and their legal barriers; how we can extend ideas of human research subject rights to zoo animal research; the stark problems of too few animal welfare laws in South East Asia; the need for a central governing body focused solely on exotic captive animals in New Zealand; and the need for stricter laws preventing the exotic pet problem that is increasingly affecting both zoos and sanctuaries. The book starts a dialogue that moves the scholarship about zoos beyond a general discussion of ethics to a concrete dialogue and set of suggestions about how to extend legal rights to this group of animals.
