Description
Book Introduction
Animal welfare, restoration of endangered species, biodiversity, etc.
A zoo story that dreams of peaceful coexistence between humans and animals.
Where do zoo animals come from?
Why do sloths sleep all day?
How do zookeepers know if a fox is pregnant?
When was the Honghak Show abolished?
Humans and animals have lived together.
Humans cannot exist without animals.
However, as cities expanded and populations grew, animal habitats were destroyed, and many animals were pushed to the brink of extinction.
As the Earth's ecosystem is seriously destroyed, the function of zoos is changing.
《If There Were No Animals in the Zoo》 is the second volume in the [Knowledge Plus Career] series, which provides various knowledge to help young people explore their career paths.
Author Jeong-rae Noh, former director of Seoul Grand Park, talks about the role of zoos in promoting peaceful coexistence between humans and animals.
It introduces the history of zoos, which began when kings collected rare animals to show off their power, and shows how the purpose of zoos changed from 'animal collection' to 'nature conservation' as animal welfare awareness developed.
You can learn about the process by which zoos, which used to be places where animals were kept for exhibition purposes, evolved into institutions that restore endangered species, protect habitats, and conserve biodiversity.
The animal enclosures in a zoo are designed to take into account the habits and habitat conditions of the animals living there.
The author introduces the habits of various animals commonly kept in zoos, such as elephants, tigers, giraffes, sloths, flamingos, and foxes, and provides ecological knowledge.
And it tells us how the animal kingdom is created accordingly.
It's packed with fascinating stories and knowledge, including where zoo animals come from and how they move, how endangered species are restored, and what the zoos of the future will look like.

Into the book
In the 1970s, the importance of ecosystem conservation emerged as a popular topic.
At the same time, the zoo's operation focused on preserving endangered species rather than on viewing and exhibition.
The Bronx Zoo, known as the largest zoo in the United States, took the lead.
Some places have stopped showing animals.
The Detroit Zoo in the United States abolished its elephant show in 1963 and its chimpanzee show in 1983.
These changes spread around the world through regional associations, including the International Association of Zoos and Aquariums, and gradually brought about change.
Zoos have begun breeding endangered species and providing education on species conservation.
--- p.24~25
If there is no zoo, you have to go to their habitat to see wild animals.
You have to go to Africa to see African elephants, gorillas, and giraffes.
You can only see orangutans in Indonesia or Malaysia.
Of course, you have to be lucky to see it.
If you had to go to their habitat to see animals, there would be more people who would never see them in their entire lives.
If you don't know what animals exist, you're less likely to want to protect them.
The habitat may be further damaged as more people visit.
The personal and social costs of finding habitats are that high.
--- p.46~48
Elephants flap their ears when they are hot.
Then, the blood containing the body's heat cools as it passes through the numerous blood vessels in the ear.
This blood then circulates throughout the body, lowering body temperature.
This will lower the temperature by about 13 degrees.
The skin also plays a part.
An elephant's skin is made up of deep wrinkles like the lines of a hand.
These are not wrinkles that come with age.
The idea is to increase the surface area to release more heat.
As the moisture formed in the wrinkles evaporates, it takes away heat and has the effect of lowering body temperature.
The secret to controlling body temperature by up to 75 percent.
Of course, in the heat, shade and bathing are the best.
There is always a water hole in the elephant enclosure.
