	Zoo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The oldest still existing zoo, the Vienna Zoo in Austria, evolved from such an aristocratic menagerie founded in 1752 by the Habsburg monarchy and changed its face as well as its mission throughout the centuries.
		Many zoos now have special buildings for nocturnal animals, with dim red lighting during the day, so the animals will be active when visitors are there, and bright lights at night to ensure that they sleep.
		Many zoos have walk-through exhibits, where visitors enter enclosures of non-aggressive species, like lemurs, marmosets, birds, lizards, turtles etc. Visitors are normally asked to keep to paths, and animals are not tame.

		Taronga Zoo is one of only four institutions in all of Australia that exhibit the platypus, and we were going to see three of them at least.
		In December 2002 Colchester Zoo announced the first birth of an African elephant in Britain by artificial insemination, and there is clearly great potential for this procedure to be used to increase the zoo population in the future.
		One of the short-term priorities at the zoo is to develop a walk-through lemur enclosure for an as-yet undecided selection of species, but it is to be hoped that when this has been accomplished the current enclosures will remain in use, for they look good and the lemurs within clearly relish their new environments.
