Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces an ambitious plan for the development of a zoological park and aquarium in Los Angeles. The author, a naturalist and secretary of the Los Angeles Zoological Society, envisions a sprawling natural sanctuary in Griffith Park, where animals can roam freely in habitats that mirror their native environments. Inspired by the renowned zoos of London, Berlin, and New York, the plan outlines a comprehensive vision for a variety of animal exhibits, including a "happy family" of herbivores, a reptile house, and a vivarium featuring exotic insects and amphibians. The author emphasizes the educational and conservation value of such an institution, highlighting the opportunity to study animal behavior, promote wildlife preservation, and foster a love of nature in visitors. Ultimately, this book is a testament to the transformative power of zoos and aquariums in connecting people with the wonders of the animal kingdom.
