The first zoos were private menageries, usually belonging to monarchs. King Charles I of England established a zoo with a large python as the main attraction. The first public zoo was established in Vienna in 1752, when the Habsburg emperors decided to grant public access to the former privately-owned Schönbrunn Palace menagerie, now called Tiergarten Schönbrunn Zoo Vienna. After the French Revolution, the Paris Zoo was opened to the public.

I used to freeze and donate birds to Carnegie Museums. Is this what you want? I do have a microscope, but not so good at dissection.

Most zoos require a Bachelor degee in Zoology to work as a keeper.  Zoo and Bio majors have very similar classes (at least they did at my university)  Includes lots of chemistry, physics, and upper division classes such as entomology, ornithology, mammalogy, animal physiology, animal behavior, etc.  Volunteering at a zoo will help you out a lot, the hands on experience is very valuable.  Good Luck.

False!  He was not the first president of the United States.  There was someone else, although I'm not sure of his name.  The inaguration I beleive was either in Philadelphia or New York.

Moorpark College in California is a good school for animal training, but is only a junior college.  If you want to work in a zoo, you will need a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology.\n\nhttp://www.moorparkcollege.edu/~eatm/

Disney World opened in 1971.  I couldn't find an exact date, but I at least have a source to back it up.

I know the zoo in Washington D.C. only keeps endangered animals. The idea is that if they go extinct in the wild they can be reintroduced into the wild from the few remaining animals in zoos.

Noah\n\nNoah or Noach (Hebrew: נוֹחַ or נֹחַ, Standard Nóaḥ Tiberian Nōªḥ; Arabic: نوح, Nūḥ; "Rest") was the tenth and last of the antediluvian Patriarchs, best known for the Deluge which came in his time. His story is contained in the Hebrew Bible's book of Genesis, chapters 5-9.\n\nThe predecessor of the zoological garden is the menagerie that has a long history from the Middle Ages to modern times. The oldest existing zoo, the Vienna Zoo in Austria, evolved from such an aristocratic menagerie founded in 1752 by the Habsburg monarchy.\n\nThe first zoo founded primarily for scientific and educational reasons was the Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes in Paris (1794). The founders and members of the Zoological Society of London adopted the idea of the early Paris zoo when they established London Zoo in 1828.\n\nThe success of London Zoo set off a wave of further zoo establishments across the world. The first zoological garden established in Australia was Melbourne Zoo in 1860. In the same year the first zoo of the United States opened to the public in New York City (Central Park Zoo), although earlier, in 1859, the Philadelphia Zoological Society had made an effort to establish a zoological park, but delayed due to the American Civil War.\n\nWhen ecology emerged as a matter of public interest through the 1970s, a few zoos began to consider making conservation their central role, with Gerald Durrell of the Jersey Zoo, George Rabb of Brookfield Zoo, and William Conway of the Bronx Zoo (Wildlife Conservation Society) leading the discussion. Since then, zoo professionals became increasingly aware of the need to engage themselves in conservation programmes and the American Zoo Association soon asserted that conservation had become its highest priority.

OK, now let's leave poor Bill Clinton out of this!\nYes, there was a story back in the 80's about a creature over in Monkey Run AR, near where I live.  I haven't heard much else.

No I have never seen a gorilla in the USA outside of the zoo, that is.

Here's one for ya..I was about maybe in the 3rd grade and we went on a trip to the local Zoo.. At that time.. The elephants were only chained by their ankles in a barn like setting.. We were allowed to feed them peanuts.. Well, some one put a peanut on my head and the elephants took it off w/ their trunks and I had elephant schmuck on my head for the rest of the day and trip home.. Everyone was laughing at me and I did not find it amusing at all.... Strange.. The things you remember when a question of this nature is posted.. Have a nice day!

"On 10 August 1846, the United States Congress passed the legislation (9 Stat. 102) founding the Smithsonian Institution as an establishment dedicated to the "increase and diffusion of knowledge," and President James K. Polk signed it into law the same day. "\n\nThere's a lot of good history on the Smithsonian's official website at http://siarchives.si.edu/history/main_generalhistory.html
