Zoos: A Historical
Perspective from Smithsonian Institution Libraries
The
National Zoological Park is an accredited member of the Association of Zoos & Aquariums.
Working in a zoo means very different things for different
people. Curiosity about what it's like to work at a zoo prompted
this collection of bios and profiles of some of the National Zoo staff.
