San Diego Zoo

Great Zoos of the United States

The World-Famous San Diego Zoo began humbly with a lion named Prince and became one of the most respected venues for research and conservation efforts worldwide. Now kids can visit not just the beautiful 100-acre Zoo but also the 1,800-acre Wild Animal Park in the pages of this book. Animal behavior and habitat, playtime, and the many needs and challenges of running the Zoo will come to life for students.
