Good morning, everybody. Today I’d like to tell you something about zoos.
Zoos have a long history. The first zoo was built in Egypt more than 4,500 years ago. But zoos then were different from zoos today. The earliest zoos were for kings and queens. Later zoos were open to rich people. These zoos were built for the fun of the rich.
In China around 3,000 years ago, an emperor built a very big zoo. It was about 6 square kilometers. He gave the zoo an interesting name. He called it “Garden of Intelligence”. The ancient Greeks built zoos, too. They built them so that they could study animals. Students in Greece had to visit zoos as part of their education.
