　　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(栖息地).

　　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.

　　Many plants and animals are going extinct. Mammoths, which are related(有关联的) with Asia elephants, are now extinct. There are no mammoths in the world today. Scientists say that seventy-four different kinds of living things go extinct every day!

Fifty years ago, zoos were places where people could go to see animals from many parts of world. The animals lived in cages that were easy to keep clean. However, for the animals, the cages were small and impossible to hide in. Although the zoo keepers took good care of them, many of the animals did not feel comfortable, and they often become ill.

In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural conditions.

The animals are given more freedom in larger places so that they can live as they could in nature .In an American zoo , visitors can walk through a huge special cage that is filled with trees , some small animals and may birds .Some zoos have special places for visitors to watch animals that live in the desert or under water . Some other zoos have special places for animals that live in cold conditions like the bear from Arctic.

Modern zoos not only show animals, but also keep and save rare animals, for the reason the grandchildren of today’s visitors will still be able to enjoy watching these animals.
