National Zoo Lovers Day

It’s National Zoo Lovers Day! I love going to a zoo. When I say to friends and family that I am going away, they ask if I’ll be going to a zoo when I’m there. If they have one of course.  Zoo’s or menageries, as they were then known, became popular during the early 1800’s. They were a form of entertainment and wonder. Whereas now they are more about conservation and education.
