Did you ever think about
how much an elephant eats?
According to a friend of
mine who for several years
was curator at a zoo in
England, an elephant eats
approximately 30 bales of
hay and 60 fo 70 pounds of
vegetables a day and drinks
60 gallons of water.
Imagine what the zoo
would have to pay to feed
one elephant for one day,
one month, one year! And
we complain about our food
bills.
Some wild animals are
adaptable, as evidenced by
wolves that adjust to semi-
urban living in North
America.
My friend recalls seeing a
beautiful’ white bird at a
railway station in Paris. The
bird seemed out of place in
its nest amid the cinders and
soot of an old building near
the tracks. Each day, as the
overland express” passed
through from the Mediterra
nean, the bird swooped down
to pluck the dead flies from
the front of the engine.
Now that’s adaptability!
But not all wildlife are as
fortunate, and as man ad
vances further into their
natural habitat, many
species are nearing extinc
tion. The protection given by
zoos and wildlife reserves is
becoming more important.
Breeding birds and
animals in captivity is not as
easy as it sounds. Because
the mates are usually close
in family relationship, their
offspring can develop
genetic defects, such as
sterility or weak hearts.
Even if breeding and birth
are successful, raising the
young creates more
problems that can last for
several years. The Scarlet
Ivis, for example, takes six
to seven years to reach
maturity.
Native to Venezuela, its
young have feathers of a dir
ty brown colour. Each year
the colour brightens until
the adult birds obtain their
brilliant s.carlet plumage.
Wild birds and animals
are more liable to breed and
rear their young successful
ly in a naturalized environ
ment rather than a clinical
deplores facilities that put
animals on display and con
siders them only as a means
of profit.
setting. Taking this into ac
count, many modern zoos
attempt to provide an en
vironment resembling the
natural habitats of the birds,
animals and fish.
The Metro Toronto zoo is
an excellent concept that
gives the animals space in
which to roam, and to carry
the human visitors, the
mono-rail was installed.
My friend insists that a
visit to a zoo should be a
learning experience, and
therefore the zoo should not
resemble a sideshow. He
Animals in zoos often are
victimized bysadisticand ig
norant members of the
public, who tease them just
to-make them roar or pelt
them with stones just to
make them move or feed
them miscellaneous ar
ticles, such as plastic bags,
that can be harmful if not
fatal to the animal. x
With the economic in
stability in Canada and other
countries, little money is
available to support zoos
and wildlife reserves.
Money goes to people
