FIRST
ZOO
The first zoo was formed in China in the 12th Century B.C. but it was not
called a zoo. When, the ancient Chinese king who started it, wanted to
collect different types of animals from all over his empire. He kept them in
what he called a “garden of intelligence”, near his palace. Some of the
largest zoos are in North America. There are big ones in the Bronx, New York
City, and in Washington and San Diego.
