Zoo Lovers Day

About This Date

It was about 1500 B.C. when Queen Hatshepsut of Egypt built the first zoo. Many private zoos were kept by rulers in Africa, India, and China between 1,000 and 400 B.C. - and a "school" zoo was built by the Greeks to study animal and plant life. But, modern zoos weren't deleveoped until the 1400's when European explorers came to the New World. When they took strange animals back home with them, public display zoos were born.
