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.
