What is in the zoo?

1. Zoos include Beijing Zoo, Chengdu Zoo, Chongqing Zoo, Hangzhou Zoo, Shanghai Zoo, Xining Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Wildlife Park and Guangzhou Zoo.

2. Guangzhou Panyu Chimelong is the most noteworthy zoo in China and a model of market-oriented operation. The level and richness of cage culture here are very high. For example, their elephant house has water and trees, and food will be placed on high poles, imitating the natural environment to improve the difficulty of feeding. It is also an independent elephant group, rich in social behavior and very beautiful. The species richness there is also high, and there are many animals that are not found in other places.

3. There are golden monkeys, red pandas, Asian elephants, Siberian tigers, clouded leopards, leopards, golden cats, black muntjac, gazelles, red-crowned cranes, white-naped cranes, white storks and yellow-bellied pheasants in the zoo. In addition, there are white-necked pheasants, spoonbills, alligators, pythons, seals, turtles, giraffes, zebras, African lions, jaguars, kangaroos, African ostriches, langurs, cygnets, emus, crested deer, koalas and other animals.

4. The zoo is a place for collecting and raising all kinds of animals. Some wild or exotic animals are put into the enclosure for scientific research and ex-situ protection for public viewing, popularization of science, publicity and protection education. Zoos have two basic characteristics: one is to raise and manage wild animals (poultry, domestic animals, pets and other non-domestic animals), and the other is to be open to the public. Many big cities in the world have zoos, which are mainly used to attract tourists. In the United States and Canada, more than1350 thousand people visit zoos every year, but many zoos operate at a loss, so we must always find ways to save money. Many non-profit zoos, especially those aimed at protecting biology, education and biological research, are maintained by public funds.
