Animals in captivity

Zoos, aquaria, and wildlife parks are vital centers of animal conservation and management. For nearly fifteen years, these institutions have relied on Wild Mammals in Captivity as the essential reference for their work. Now the book reemerges in a completely updated second edition. Wild Mammals in Captivity presents the most current thinking and practice in the care and management of wild mammals in zoos and other institutions.

The Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine publishes original research findings, clinical observations, and case reports in the field of veterinary medicine dealing with captive and free-ranging wild animals. It also publishes editorials, review articles, and special reports relevant to this field.

Erstmals wird in diesem Buch das bisher äußerst verborgene Leben der Graupapageien in der Natur geschildert. Spannende Reportagen nehmen den Leser mit in die Wälder Zentralafrikas und auf einsame Inseln vor der Küste. Der Schlüssel zur artgerechten Haltung der beiden Unterarten Timneh-Graupapagei und Graupapagei sind die Kenntnisse über ihr Freileben.

As species extinction, environmental protection, animal rights, and workplace safety issues come to the fore, zoos and aquariums need keepers who have the technical expertise and scientific knowledge to keep animals healthy, educate the public, and create regional, national, and global conservation and management communities.

A magazine for the exchange of news, information and ideas between zoos and aquariums of the world.
