Abstract:
In 1974, the North Carolina Zoo at Asheboro spent $20,000 providing food for its 125 animals. This year the amount is expected to be over $35,000. Andy Lucker, operations manager of the 1,165-acre zoo, says inflation, causing hay to double in price, has contributed to increased expenses. Donations made by local farmers help, and zoo officials hope to begin growing vegetables and grain on zoo land within a year.

The zoo is a natural habitat zoo, which means the animals are kept in surroundings similar to the ones they inhabit in the wild. It is the first and second-largest natural-habitat zoo in the world.

Abstract:
The Asheboro Zoological Park, cited as the largest walk-through, natural-habitat zoo in the world, includes in its experience 30,000 plants and 1,100 animals. From the experience, its rare plant curator hopes visitors become more sensitive to the cause of saving endangered species, mindful of laws related to endangered species, and see all living things as worthy of life.
