Introduction

When you think about the last time you visited a zoo or marine park, what things do you remember? You probably think about an enjoyable afternoon spent looking at fantastic animals which you normally would not have been able to see. But, while you were watching these truly amazing animals, have you ever wondered about what they were thinking and feeling?

 During this web quest, you will be asked to think about several different aspects of zoos, some of which may never have occurred to you before. You will make decisions about whether these homes are humane to animals, and whether keeping animals in captivity for human entertainment is a good thing to do. You will also have the opportunity to look at different features of zoos and choose which features you think are the best suited to animal species.
