Now in mylar. **CONTENTS: An educational zoology handbook meant for middle schoolers or others, containing an assortment of entertaining facts about animals one would find at a zoo. An adaptation of the author's previous work, "The Management of Wild Mammals in Captivity", transforming a comprehensive work meant for the training of industry professionals into a more accessible book for all to read, with the help of his zoological associate, William Bridges (1901-1984). Both plain facts, and the stories of how these facts were found, are laid out in a manner which does not bore the reader, and in fact, further engages the reader in the world of zoology. American **AUTHOR Lee. S. Crandall (1887-1969) was a zoologist, and later a ornithologist who worked at the Bronx Zoo for most of his adult life. As a child born in Sherburne, New York, he presented early interest in the breeding and study of birds. Crandall attended Cornell Medical School, but only for a year, as he realized he wanted to work with animals for a living, bringing him to the New York Zoological Park (Later renamed to the Bronx Zoo). He later attended Columbia University, where he furthered his interest in zoology. After becoming the curator of the zoo, going on multiple expeditions, and working for decades, he eventually retired in 1952. He spent the next decade working on "The Management of Wild Mammals in Captivity", which released in 1964, and became an incredibly influential work in the world of zoology. (CJ). Book.
