Most people have no idea of the hard work and worry going into the collecting of those fascinating birds and animals that they pay to see in the zoo.One of the questions that is always asked of me is  36  I became an animal collector in the first 37 .The answer is that I have always been interested in animals and zoos.

Years ago, many zoos kept all kinds of animals in small cages(笼子). Small cages made it easy for people to see the animals, but a small cage is not a good place for an animal to live in.
Today zoos keep animals in different kinds of cages. The cages are very big and open. They usually have plants and a little lake. The cages look like the animals' habitats
Zoos help to protect all kinds of animals. They protect animals in the zoo and they protect animals in the wild. How do they do this? Zoos teach people how animals live in the wild. Zoos want people to help protect the animals' wild habitats.

Zoos are working together to stop animals from going extinct.
