Abstract:

The North Carolina Zoo claims a notable first. It was the nation's first zoo to be designed around the natural habitat concept. Animals are not housed in cages, but are seen in habitats that closely resemble their homes in the wild. Jackson describes how the zoo has developed and grown over the past thirty-two years.
