Wild animals do not make good pets.

It's wonderful to see exotic animals when you visit zoos and aquariums, but exotic animals don't belong in your house. If you're looking for a pet, you can take a personality text to find the best pet for you. (It could be a gerbil or a goldfish . . . but maybe it's an African millipede!). Learn why wild animals do not make good pets.

Animal Pictures

Take a look at our Conservation Snapshots and the winners of the Annual AZA Photo Contest. Amazing animals . . . and you'll learn what AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums are doing to save them in the wild.

Animals want to have fun, too.

Providing stimulating and interesting environments for animals in zoos and aquariums (called "enrichment") is an important part of the job for keepers and aquarists. Learn more about enrichment.

You'd rather be at the zoo, wouldn't you?

Unfortunately, you can't spend all of your time there, but you can make virtual visits to many AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums via their Web Cams. Go to the Web Cams.
