Build A Jungle Zoo
by: Straughan, Robert
Robert Straughan suggests we do more than try to protect animals in their
native land. He proposes that giant, outdoor jungle preserves be built
in the southern areas of the US, where animals could be imported, propagate,
and re-establish their species. This book relates everything there is
to know about carrying out such a project. He also suggests improving
zoos and animal farms that already exist to that of an open-air zoo where
animals roam free rather than be enclosed in concrete cages. B/W photos.

Camel Lot
by: Schaffer, Moselle
A tender and amusing book about animals that will appeal to anyone who
loved James Herriot's All Things Great and Small. It is the true story
of Moselle Schaffer and her zoo-illogical farm in Indiana. The author
led a conventional life in Indianapolis until she obtained a pilot's license
and moved with her husband to a nearby farm with an airstrip. At the suggestion
of a circus-performer friend, the couple began to raise exotic animals
in the empty barns, beginning with camels and zebras. Other beasts came
later--tiger cubs, llamas, miniature goats, monkeys, a pig. The author
acted as obstetrician to an ostrich chick named Watts (the egg had been
incubated under a 100-watt light bulb) and found a Leghorn hen to act
as its foster mother. The menagerie survived, but the marriage did not.
Schaffer now runs Camel Lot as a bed-and-breakfast. A witty and entertaining
book. 274 pgs.
