This
is the best known of London's zoos and sanctuaries and also
probably the easiest to visit as it's located in Regent's Park.
There is a wide range of animals
and you don't need to feel guilty about seeing animals in captivity
because London Zoo is in the the forefront of captive breeding
and conservation programmes. This work is undertaken by the
Institute
of Zoology, the research arm of London Zoo.
Amongst the animals you can
see are lions, tigers, bears, hippopotomuses, monkeys, apes,
birds of prey, parrots, giraffes, gazelles, reptiles, waterbirds,
owls and many many more. There is also a Children's Zoo and
Pet Care Centre.
While you are there, be sure
to visit one of the latest and most exciting exhibitions,
the Web
of Life, which demonstrates biodiversity. Inside a specially
designed building, they recreate some major habitats and the
range of animals found in them.
