Abstract:

"In Asheboro, the rolling piedmont starts to look like a slice of Africa as a new state supported zoo aims to teach the value of conservation- and give its animals space to be themselves." The North Carolina Zoo was dedicated in August 1974. Today it is the world's largest by area with 500 developed acres populated by 1,800 animals.
