Today, zoos and wildlife parks are much more than collections of exotic animals. They may house the few remaining members of an endangered species and are centres of research in animal care and conservation. This handbook brings together information gathered from studies of animal behaviour, advances in breeding, genetics and nutrition research, and studies of animal management and welfare. The book surveys significant scientific, technical, and management issues. Organized into seven parts, the 48 chapters cover the basics of husbandry and nutrition; the design, planning and management of exhibits in zoos and parks; behaviour, reproduction and breeding; genetics and population management; and research with captive mammals.
